For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 19.4% of 6th graders, 19.7% of 7th graders, and 29.6% of 8th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Gwinnett County averages of 49.8%, 48.9%, and 52.5%, respectively. The school also struggles in mathematics, with only 13.8% of 6th graders, 16.9% of 7th graders, and 31.1% of 8th graders reaching proficiency, compared to the county averages of 42.8%, 47.7%, and 56.8%.

When comparing Radloff Middle School to the nearby schools in the Gwinnett County district, it becomes clear that Radloff is underperforming significantly. Schools like Pinckneyville Middle, Northbrook Middle, Hull Middle, and Coleman Middle all have higher test scores, lower free and reduced lunch rates, and higher SchoolDigger rankings than Radloff. The relatively high per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at Radloff Middle School suggest that the school has resources available to potentially improve its academic performance, and addressing the specific challenges faced by the school and its student population could be a key focus for the district and school administration.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
