Summary:

Zip code 30078 in Snellville, Georgia is home to three elementary schools—Brookwood Elementary School, Pharr Elementary School, and Britt Elementary School—all part of the Gwinnett County School District, serving approximately 2,799 students in grades PK-5 with dramatically different performance profiles.

Brookwood Elementary School is the clear standout, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide (89th of 1,219 schools). Its math proficiency ranges from 71.5% to 76.2% across grades 3-5, and 5th-grade science proficiency is 77.4%—all well above district and state averages. Brookwood also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (5.0%) and the lowest percentage of students on free/reduced lunch (46.77%). Pharr Elementary School is a solid mid-tier performer with a 4-star rating (136th statewide). It has shown remarkable improvement, jumping 51 positions since 2023-2024, and its 3rd-grade math proficiency (76.3%) actually exceeds Brookwood's. However, its 5th-grade math drops to 60.6%, and it serves a more economically disadvantaged population (64.22% free/reduced lunch). Britt Elementary School is the lowest-performing school, with a 2-star rating (818th statewide). Its math proficiency ranges from just 26.0% to 42.4% across grades, and science proficiency is only 30.4%. Britt also has the highest chronic absenteeism (14.0%) and the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (79.68%).

Perhaps the most striking finding is the spending paradox: Britt Elementary School spends the most per student ($17,094) and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.0:1), yet achieves the lowest scores, while Brookwood Elementary School spends the least ($12,889) with the highest ratio (14.7:1) and achieves the best results. Chronic absenteeism follows the same pattern as performance—Brookwood (5.0%), Pharr (8.7%), and Britt (14.0%)—though all three remain below district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) averages. The 685-position gap between Brookwood and Britt within the same district and zip code highlights how dramatically school experiences can vary even in close proximity. For parents, this data suggests that while economic factors strongly correlate with outcomes, they are not destiny—Pharr's improvement proves progress is possible, but additional funding and smaller class sizes alone have not closed the achievement gap at Britt.
