Jordan Middle School

Q: Is Jordan Middle School a good school?

Jordan Middle School ranks 274 th of 588 Georgia middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Jordan Middle School is a public middle school located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 795 students. The school is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is ranked 65 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Jordan Middle School excels in Algebra I proficiency, with a 98.1% proficiency rate compared to the county and state averages of 53.5% and 44%, respectively, its performance in other subject areas, such as English Language Arts and Mathematics, is significantly lower than the Gwinnett County and Georgia averages. This suggests that the school may be focusing resources and efforts on improving Algebra I performance, potentially at the expense of other subject areas. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.71% to 85.91%, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

When comparing Jordan Middle School to other schools in the Gwinnett County district, several interesting observations can be made. McConnell Middle School and Twin Rivers Middle School consistently outperform Jordan Middle School in test scores across all subject areas, while Couch Middle School and Crews Middle School demonstrate significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. These comparisons suggest that there may be opportunities for Jordan Middle School to learn from the successful practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing schools within the same district.

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.
