Summary:
The 30044 zip code area of Lawrenceville, Georgia is home to 13 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Gwinnett County school district. While the schools vary in performance, a few standouts demonstrate the potential for exceptional student outcomes in this diverse, high-poverty region.
At the top of the pack are Crews Middle School and Five Forks Middle School, both ranked in the top 50 middle schools in Georgia with 5-star ratings. These schools have significantly higher test scores than the state and county averages across multiple subjects. The Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology is the top-ranked high school in the state, with over 90% of students proficient or better in several subjects. At the elementary level, Craig Elementary School and Gwin Oaks Elementary School are both ranked in the top 100 in Georgia.
In contrast, some schools in the 30044 zip code struggle with lower test scores and higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing the challenges faced by these high-poverty schools could provide valuable lessons for improving educational outcomes across the broader Gwinnett County community.
