A higher percentage of Gwinnett County schools scored excellent on an annual report that measures the “climate” of each school.
The state’s STAR climate ratings measure the learning environment in each school. They’re derived from a variety of sources, including surveys of parents and school staff and discipline and attendance data. A five is excellent, four is above average, three is average, two is below satisfactory and one is unsatisfactory.
In Gwinnett, 46 schools received a five for 2016. In 2015, 37 Gwinnett schools got a five. Just one school, Gwinnett Intervention Education Center (GIVE) West, received a one.
