School Highlights
The following school highlights showcase how Britt Elementary School is fulfilling Gwinnett County Public School's four strategic priorities of Empathy, Equity, Effectiveness, and Excellence. Visit the School Profile Dashboard to find more detailed data on our school.
- Britt Elementary was recognized by Georgia State Superintendent Richard Woods as a Math Leader, highlighting our outstanding achievement and growth in student performance. This honor reflects our commitment to excellence, particularly in 5th-grade mathematics, where students demonstrated high levels of proficiency and academic growth.
- Britt students and staff strive for excellence in academics and behavior. Britt Elementary participates in the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program. PBIS promotes positive behaviors by recognizing students who exhibit appropriate school conduct. Students are encouraged daily to show Comet PRIDE, which stands for Politeness, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Effort.
- All students at Britt Elementary participate in a computer science special in which they learn the foundations of computer programming and robotics. Students in our art special discover how creativity and technique come together to make something unique. Students in music learn how to play instruments, from recorders and rhythm sticks to ukuleles.
- Student leadership is fostered through our Comet Captains, who lead two service projects annually, one in the fall and one in the spring. Their initiatives, including organizing a food drive for our local school pantry and supporting campus beautification, reflect a strong commitment to service, compassion, and community care.
- Britt Elementary students participate in a variety of extracurricular activities that build character, promote physical wellness, and develop leadership skills, including clubs focused on reading, the arts, physical fitness, computer science, yearbook, robotics, broadcasting, podcasting, and leadership. Students also extend their learning through participation in the Gwinnett County Schools Robotics Competition and engaging in field trips. This year, visits to Fernbank Natural History Museum, the Yellow River Game Ranch, and the Georgia Aquarium helped connect classroom learning to real-world experiences while fostering curiosity and collaboration.
- Families and the community are actively engaged through events such as Literacy Night, Math Night, International Night, Black History celebrations, Lunch and Learn workshops, and Career Day, which build meaningful connections and promote understanding of diverse cultures, experiences, and future pathways.
- Students participate in extended learning programs after school and during the summer to strengthen their mastery of the Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) curriculum. These programs provide targeted support and enrichment opportunities that allow students to build on classroom learning, close achievement gaps, and gain confidence in key academic areas. Through engaging instruction and additional practice, students are better prepared for continued academic success.
- Career Day inspired Britt students as they considered their future careers. Students learned about careers in healthcare, public service, transportation, law, animal care, and technology through the efforts of our community partners, South Gwinnett High School, and our parents and families, who shared their career experiences.
- Families with children ages birth to five years participate in our Play 2 Learn and Little Learners programs, which build a strong foundation for school readiness. Through engaging, hands-on activities, children develop early literacy, math, and social-emotional skills while families gain strategies to support learning at home. These programs help ensure a smooth and successful transition to kindergarten.
- Community partners such as the Britt Parent Teacher Organization, the Buis Family Foundation, Gwinnett Bookmobile, Amazon, Lions Club, Gwinnett Parks and Recreation, Snellville Parks and Recreation, Snellville Community Church, Snellville Church on Main, and Nordstrom ensured that students had needed books, bookbags, school supplies, and other resources to support their academic success and personal well-being.
