The Gwinnett County School System

Gwinnett County is made up of 16 cities and towns and 7 unincorporated communities. The county has a population of nearly 900,000 residents. The Gwinnett County Public School district is the largest in Georgia, serving around 180,000 students through its 143 schools.

Parents can depend on Varsity Tutors to connect them with a knowledgeable and motivational tutor who can help their child meet or exceed their academic goals at any age or grade level. Whether it’s learning reading, algebra, or organic chemistry, a Gwinnett County tutor can provide the necessary guidance to understand material better, improve grades, and increase test scores. Even the best student sometimes needs a bit of extra assistance to achieve their academic goals, and tutoring is a great way to get that support.

To see how well the Gwinnett County school system is preparing students for state exams, see the chart below.

Gwinnett County Test Scores

Standardized exams require students to understand the content tested, but they also need some specific test-taking skills. A tutor specializing in these exams can benefit any learner. Students facing admissions tests like the ISEE, SAT, ACT, LSAT, or GRE, could benefit from working with a test prep tutor. Additionally, a private tutor in Gwinnett County can help your child successfully prepare for the Georgia Milestones elementary and middle school exams in English language arts, math, science, and social studies. Likewise, tutors can help your high school student get ready for End-of-Course assessments in coordinate algebra, geometry, economics, or literature and composition, among others.

Gwinnett County tutors can also assist area students in virtually any subject they may be studying. Many subjects like math involve learning concepts that build upon foundational material learned in earlier coursework. If a student somehow missed a few of those earlier concepts, it could be difficult for them to keep pace as the teacher presents new topics. A tutor can help to pinpoint which gaps the student needs to fill and get them up to date on their current class material.

Some of Georgia’s best public schools can are in Gwinnett County. Of course, individual students may have a tough time in some classes, which is where a private tutor can be helpful. The table below details how the top high schools in the county compare to other public schools throughout Georgia.

"The student overall was having a great day. Today we went over study prep for her exam tomorrow and covered graphing, slope, range and domain, fractions, and a couple of other math problems. I had her go through the entire practice review at the end of the chapter. She corrected a few of the problems as soon as I started to go over it. She felt much better about the material since last week, required less cueing on her homework. There were a few questions that she got wrong that were pretty tough and I had to review with her. No strategies were covered, only concepts related to the work. She is getting much better at graphing and slope intercepts. I also went with her and looked ahead for the future week and saw what was coming up just to see how well she understood the future material."

"Today we saw each one of the problems the student had in the test and added some others in order to master operations such as diamond diagrams, rules of signs and algebraic simplification. The student solved each and every problem I wrote for him. We reviewed his mistakes and corrected them hoping for him to understand which operation to use according to the problem. We expect a good grade on his test for tomorrow."

"The student and I reviewed two passages of ACT reading, twenty math problems, and three passages of ACT science. Though he struggled a bit with science, he did well on all sections tonight and exceedingly well with math. "

"The student had homework assignments on finding the mean, median, mode, and range of various problems sets; and on the properties of exponents. Another session has been scheduled to continue with her homework assignments and review for an upcoming test."

"Today's session with this student went really well. We spent our time working on calculus in preparation for her upcoming exams. It was our first time working on math and she had forgotten a lot of material from the last couple of years. We spent most of our time reviewing the material and I think that it made a big difference. Her biggest struggle so far is forgetting what she has already learned. I showed her a lot of simple, effective ways of remembering the earlier material and I think it will make a big difference. I asked her to work extra problems from her book."

"The student had a review packet for her algebra 2 semester 1 final. She had already completed it, but had several questions on problems that she could not remember. We reviewed recursive functions; graphs and transformations; solving exponential equations; solving simultaneous equations by graphing, substitution, and elimination; and explicit functions relating to word problems. She did well once she recalled how to do the problem. Her final is on Wednesday."

"The student and I worked on review for her midterm, including scientific notation, units conversion, naming of type I, II, III compounds, and basic knowledge of molecular structure. I left her with some work to do using her textbook, and questions to ask a teacher about material to be on the exam."

"This week, the student and I began by going over the homework I assigned him from some previous sessions, which included some worksheets on using the preterite vs. the imperfect. He did an excellent job with the worksheets and got every tense choice and conjugation correct. We then worked through some exercises on ser vs. estar, using the verb jugar; vocabulary for the human body; and translating sports related phrases from English into Spanish. The student also did an excellent job with these exercises and is really starting to think and translate more quickly with regard to selecting the proper tense and performing the proper conjugation."

"The student recently started an algebra class, and today was our first time meeting to work on that material. He had his textbook and a couple of worksheets with practice problems. We worked together on problems that involved the topics of order of operations (PEMDAS) and working with signed numbers in all operations. He completed his work, and he asked for extra practice on all types of problems. Continuing to practice, as he always did in the past, will be a great benefit. As always, he is eager to work and motivated to do well. "

"The student has just started trigonometry in her pre-calculus class. We covered the basics: sketching angles, coterminal angles, and converting between radians and degrees. After making sure she understood the concepts, we went over a few of the problems she had been assigned. We also reviewed sequences and series, which she has already covered in class but didn't fully understand. We worked on defining sequence and series and tried thinking of sequences as functions, comparing arithmetic sequences to linear equations. We practiced graphing an arithmetic sequence and finding partial sums of an arithmetic series."

"Today the student and I prepped for her AP chemistry exam that is next week by working through a practice exam. She seemed to have a good understanding about most of the problems, and was able to work out most problems on her own. She will need to continue practicing, however. We will meet again tomorrow to do more practice. "
