Summary:
There are four middle schools serving zip code 30052 in Loganville, Georgia, spanning grades 6-8 across two districts: Gwinnett County and Walton County, with a combined enrollment of roughly 6,300 students.
For families comparing options, Youth Middle School stands out as the academic leader, ranking 103rd statewide (82nd percentile) and posting the highest math proficiency in 6th and 8th grades (54.3% and 64.1%, respectively). It also had the strongest ELA scores in 2024-2025 across all grade levels. Loganville Middle School is a consistent 4-star performer, ranking 134th (77th percentile) with strong 8th grade math (57.8%) and science (47.2%) scores. McConnell Middle School ranks 185th (68th percentile) but excels in advanced coursework, with 98.9% of Algebra I test-takers scoring proficient or better—far above state averages. Grace Snell Middle School is the clear outlier, ranking 319th (45th percentile) with a 2-star rating and math proficiency rates roughly 15-20 points below the group leaders.
Several patterns emerge. The two Walton County schools outperform their Gwinnett counterparts despite similar or lower per-student spending, suggesting district-level strategies matter more than funding alone. Notably, Grace Snell spends the most per student ($12,900) yet achieves the lowest outcomes, while Youth Middle spends the least ($11,579) and leads academically. Chronic absenteeism presents a paradox: Youth Middle has the highest rate (20.4%) but the best performance, while McConnell has the lowest (10.6%) but ranks third. Both Gwinnett schools show exceptional Algebra I results, indicating strong math acceleration programs. A reported 0% proficiency in 8th grade science for both Gwinnett schools appears to be a data reporting anomaly rather than genuine performance, given reasonable scores on related science assessments.
