Summary:

Baggett Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 1,020 students. The school is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is ranked 65th out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Baggett Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 21.7% to 31.9%, compared to 42.1% to 53.4% for Gwinnett County and 37% to 48.2% for the state. The school's performance in Mathematics and Science follows a similar pattern. Baggett Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 614th out of 1,234 Georgia elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 864th out of 1,248 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.98% to 84.31% in recent years, indicating a high-poverty student population.

When comparing Baggett Elementary to other nearby schools in the Gwinnett County district, it consistently underperforms academically. For example, Gwin Oaks Elementary, located just 3.71 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates in all subject areas and grade levels, as well as a higher statewide ranking and 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Baggett Elementary's spending per student has increased over the years, from $8,234 in 2016-2017 to $9,776 in 2018-2019, but this increased spending does not appear to have translated into improved academic outcomes for the school. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.2 to 14.1 in recent years, which is lower than the nearby schools, suggesting that the school's challenges may not be solely due to resource constraints.

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.
