Summary:
ZIP code 62439 includes three Lawrenceville schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Parkside Elementary School, Parkview Junior High School, and Lawrenceville High School, with 1,061 students combined. Attendance is a concern across all three: chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 ranged from 30% at Parkside to 37% at Parkview, compared with 24% statewide. The clearest academic concern is math: all-grades results were 11 points below state at Parkside and 18 points below at Parkview, while ninth-grade high school math was 26 points below.
Parkside has the stronger all-grades IAR results of the two younger schools: 51% in ELA and 29% in math, compared with Parkview’s 47% and 22%—differences of 4 and 7 points, respectively. These overall school comparisons are not like-for-like because the schools serve different grades. Grade-specific results show bright spots: Parkside fourth-grade ELA was 4 points above state, and Parkview eighth-grade ELA was 1 point above. At Lawrenceville High, ninth-grade ELA and science were each about 8 points below state; tenth-grade results were further behind, about 22 points below in each subject. The high school’s ninth-grade math result was especially low, at 16% versus 42% statewide.
Recent results are mixed rather than uniformly improving or declining: Parkside ELA rose 3 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while its math fell 5; Parkview ELA fell 5, while its math rose 7. SchoolDigger’s latest reported percentiles are lower than in 2023–2024 at all three schools: Parkside moved from the 34th to the 31st percentile, Lawrenceville High from the 39th to the 23rd, and Parkview from the 40th to the 21st. These are relative rankings, not test-score changes. For context, the 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 71% at Parkside, 66% at Parkview, and 57% at Lawrenceville High; student–teacher ratios ranged from 9.7 at the high school to 13.3 at Parkside. Those figures provide context but do not explain the differences in results.
