Summary:

Zip code 30071 in Norcross, Georgia, is served by five elementary schools—four traditional public schools within the Gwinnett County district and one charter school, Brookhaven Innovation Academy, operating under the State Specialty Schools II district—collectively serving roughly 3,972 students across grades PK-5 (with Brookhaven extending through 8th grade).

The standout school in this area is Brookhaven Innovation Academy, which ranks in the 68th percentile statewide with a 3-star rating, far outpacing its traditional counterparts that all hold 1-star ratings and rank in the bottom quartile. Brookhaven’s 5th-grade math proficiency (63%) is nearly double that of the next closest school, Beaver Ridge Elementary School (34.5%), and it also leads in 3rd-grade math (40.7% vs. 35.4% at Beaver Ridge) and 5th-grade science (52.3% vs. 33.8% at Beaver Ridge). Among the traditional schools, Norcross Elementary School performs best academically, ranking 911th statewide, while Stripling Elementary School lags furthest behind with the lowest math scores and the highest chronic absenteeism rate (18.4%, above the state average). Baldwin Elementary sits in the middle of the traditional group, with modest proficiency rates across all subjects.

Notably, Beaver Ridge Elementary School showed the most dramatic improvement, jumping 251 positions in state rankings from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, while Stripling Elementary School also improved by 150 positions. However, all four traditional schools remain well below state averages in every subject, and they serve predominantly high-poverty populations (over 80% free/reduced lunch) compared to Brookhaven’s 25.8%. Brookhaven also spends less per student ($13,974) than the traditional schools ($15,308-$16,416) yet achieves dramatically better outcomes, and it offers advanced coursework like Algebra I with 91.3% proficiency. For parents, the choice is stark: Brookhaven offers exceptional academic performance, while the traditional schools face significant challenges, though Beaver Ridge’s upward trajectory and Norcross’s relative strength are encouraging signs.
