Summary:
Zip code 30045 in Lawrenceville, GA, is served by three schools within the Gwinnett County School District, including one high school and two elementary schools, with no middle schools in the immediate area.
Archer High School is the standout performer in this zip code, showing remarkable upward momentum. The school improved its state ranking from 118th to 86th over two years, earning a 4-star rating. Its graduation rate of 93.8% far exceeds both the district (85.4%) and state (87.2%) averages, and its dropout rate of 1.4% is half the district rate. Archer also posted impressive year-over-year gains in Algebra I (46.1% to 60.9%), Biology, and U.S. History, with the latter being a signature strength at 56.6% proficiency—more than 16 points above district and state averages. However, chronic absenteeism at 20.8% is a concern, running well above the district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) averages.
Among the elementary schools, Lovin Elementary School is the stronger performer, maintaining a 3-star rating and outperforming Simonton Elementary School by 8 to 20 percentage points across most subjects and grades. For example, in 4th grade math, Lovin posts 53.7% proficiency versus Simonton's 33.1%. Lovin also benefits from the highest per-student funding ($16,836) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.5:1) in the zip code. Simonton, which serves a higher percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (79.49%), struggles with proficiency rates below state averages in nearly every category, particularly in 5th grade math (28.3% vs. 44.1% statewide). Both elementary schools show declining math proficiency as grade levels increase, though the trend is more pronounced at Simonton. Chronic absenteeism is notably lower at Lovin (8.2%) than at Simonton (13.9%), and both are below district and state averages.
