Summary:
Zip code 30046 in Lawrenceville, Georgia, is served by two middle schools—Moore Middle School and Jordan Middle School—both part of the Gwinnett County School District, which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 67th percentile statewide.
Jordan Middle School is the clear standout in this area, outperforming Moore in every subject and grade level tested. Jordan ranks 216th out of 578 Georgia middle schools (63rd percentile, 3 stars), while Moore ranks 406th (30th percentile, 2 stars). The gap is most dramatic in Algebra I, where Jordan achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the End of Course exam compared to Moore's 79.8%. Jordan also nearly doubles Moore's proficiency in 8th grade Social Studies (47.4% vs. 25.3%) and High School Physical Science (51.7% vs. 27.1%). Both schools serve predominantly low-income populations (over 81% free/reduced lunch), but Jordan does so with a slightly better student-teacher ratio (12.8 vs. 14.1) and higher per-student spending ($15,947 vs. $14,304).
Moore Middle School shows some positive momentum, improving in Algebra I (+12.5 points), 7th grade math (+8.8 points), and 6th grade math (+5.4 points) year-over-year, but it remains significantly below district and state averages in most subjects. Both schools saw declines in 8th grade math proficiency, and both exceed the district's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% (Moore at 19.0%, Jordan at 16.9%). Jordan posted the largest single-year improvement of either school with an 11-point surge in 8th grade Social Studies. Notably, both schools dramatically outperform district and state averages in Algebra I, reflecting a highly select group of accelerated students. English Language Arts scores for 2025-2026 are not yet available and will be released in December.
