Summary:
There are three elementary schools serving grades PK through 5 in zip code 30093 (Norcross, GA), all part of the Gwinnett County School District, which collectively serve a predominantly low-income student population with free/reduced lunch rates between 82.8% and 93.8%.
Meadowcreek Elementary School stands out as the clear improver, jumping from the 8th to the 23rd percentile in state rankings over the past year. It now leads all three schools in every math and science category, with 5th grade math proficiency nearly doubling from 17.4% to 28.1% and science jumping 11.7 points to 31.0%. Meadowcreek also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (18.1%) despite serving the highest percentage of low-income students (93.8%), and it receives the highest per-student funding ($17,017) with the lowest student-teacher ratio (11:1). In contrast, Graves Elementary School has remained a stable underperformer, hovering around the 13-16th percentile for three years with no significant improvement. It has the highest chronic absenteeism (19.5%) and lowest per-student spending ($14,853) despite serving 270 more students than Meadowcreek. Rockbridge Elementary School shows extreme volatility, with 4th grade math improving 11 points year-over-year but 4th grade ELA proficiency at just 5.5% in 2024-2025.
All three schools remain substantially below district and state averages—for example, the best 3rd grade math score (Meadowcreek at 30.4%) trails the district average (53.5%) by 23.1 points. Chronic absenteeism exceeds both district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) levels at every school. The most recent ELA data (2024-2025) reveals critical literacy challenges, with Rockbridge's 4th grade ELA at 5.5% and Meadowcreek's 5th grade ELA at 11.9%, both dramatically below state averages. However, the collective upward trajectory in math and science—particularly Meadowcreek's broad-based turnaround—suggests targeted investments in staffing and attendance may be yielding results, even as significant achievement gaps persist.
