Schools in Zip Code 30093

Zip code 30093 in Norcross, Georgia, is served by four schools within the Gwinnett County School District, including one high school and three elementary schools, collectively educating 5,481 students in a community where the vast majority of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the elementary schools, Meadowcreek Elementary School stands out as the area's most improved school, jumping 200 positions in state rankings and posting the strongest math scores in the zip code—with 30.4% of 3rd graders, 31.3% of 4th graders, and 28.1% of 5th graders proficient in math. It also leads in 5th-grade science at 31.0% proficiency. Rockbridge Elementary School has climbed 177 positions over two years and posted the second-highest science proficiency at 29.4%, while Graves Elementary School trails slightly behind in most subjects. All three elementary schools remain well below district averages, which range from 51.6% to 56.8% in math, leaving a 20-30 percentage point gap. Meadowcreek High School faces the most significant challenges, with just 20.6% proficiency in Algebra I, 18.0% in Biology, and 11.9% in U.S. History, alongside a graduation rate of 82.6% and a dropout rate of 4.3%—both worse than district and state figures.

The most pressing issue is chronic absenteeism at Meadowcreek High School, where 43.3% of students are chronically absent, nearly triple the district rate of 15.0% and likely a major factor in its stagnant performance. Elementary schools fare better, with rates between 18.1% and 19.9%. Notably, Meadowcreek Elementary School receives the highest per-student funding ($17,017) and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (11:1), correlating with its strong improvement. While all schools trail district averages, the upward trajectory at the elementary level—especially at Meadowcreek and Rockbridge—suggests targeted interventions may be gaining traction, though sustained effort is needed to close the achievement gap.
