Suwanee Elementary School

Many of the ongoing problems at this school appear to come from a lack of strong leadership. Teachers receive very limited guidance beyond daily lesson requirements. There is little meaningful support for teachers, which has led to high staff turnover.As a result, consistency for students is affected. Several other elementary schools are located nearby, and they report higher teacher retention, stronger student satisfaction, and better academic performance. Families may want to carefully compare all local options before enrolling.

My daughters attended Level Creek from K-5 grade. We were blessed with some amazing teachers in both the regular classroom and in the connection classes. The admin is amazing and care about ALL the students.

We as parents and our 3 kids love this school! Love every teacher, front desk as well as the assistant principal and Dr. Pugh is awesome! The only thing I wish would get better is the school lunch

Based on my experience, Old Suwannee Christian School is deeply disappointing and harmful once students reach middle school. While the elementary grades may appear fine, everything goes downhill after that point.Academically, the quality is poor. From what I experienced,most all teachers did not seem properly trained or knowledgeable in the subjects they were teaching. Lessons were confusing, explanations didn’t make sense, and questions often couldn’t be answered clearly. It felt like the teachers themselves didn’t fully understand what they were talking about, which left students frustrated and unprepared.The school also does not offer special education services, meaning students who need additional academic or learning support are completely overlooked. Instead of helping students succeed, the school makes those who struggle feel like they are the problem.Socially, the environment is extremely judgmental. If you’re not involved in sports or don’t go to church there, you’re treated as if you don’t belong or are “weird.” Athletics are pushed heavily, and students with different interests are not respected or encouraged. There is very little room for individuality.The hypocrisy is overwhelming. The school constantly preaches Christian values like kindness and love, yet many students are treated with judgment, favoritism, and unfairness. Personal convictions are pushed onto students as rules—for example, girls being criticized for wearing pants, even though that is a personal belief, not something that should be forced on others. Instead of teaching respect for differences, the school enforces its own opinions. Overall, in my opinion, Old Suwannee Christian School is racist, hypocritical, and mean-spirited, especially toward middle school students who don’t fit their narrow expectations. It is not a safe, supportive, or inclusive environment. I would strongly warn parents to think carefully before enrolling their children past elementary school.

Roberts Elementary School seems to be the best among the elementary schools in Gwinnett County. More than anything else, the quality of the teachers and the way they treat the children is beyond expectations. Every teacher puts the children first and treats them as if they were their own. Our kids say their teachers are the best and are truly enjoying their school life

I couldn't be happier with my child’s experience at Burnette this year. My child loves going to school everyday. She is so excited about learning and she loves her teacher. Way to go Burnette!
