The following school highlights showcase how Magill 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.
- The Georgia Department of Education recognized Magill Elementary School as a Literacy Leader, a distinction earned through significant growth and achievement in English Language Arts on the Georgia Milestones Assessment System.
- Magill was also honored as a PBIS Distinguished School and a National Beta School of Distinction, reflecting our commitment to fostering a positive, supportive, and inclusive learning environment where all students can thrive
- At Magill, we intentionally create opportunities for students to feel valued, connected, and celebrated. Events such as Cultural Heritage Night honor the diverse backgrounds of our school community, while daily Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) experiences, including morning announcements, Morning Meetings, and Health Specials, help students develop essential life skills and a strong sense of belonging.
- Through our Distinguished Gentlemen (DG) and Girls Excelling at Magill (GEMs) mentoring programs, students receive targeted Tier II and Tier III social-emotional and behavioral support. Faculty, staff, and community volunteers serve as mentors, providing encouragement, guidance, and positive role models that help students build confidence and achieve success.
- Every student at Magill participates in Computer Science as part of their specials rotation. Through these classes, students develop foundational computational thinking and coding skills that prepare them for advanced learning opportunities in middle school and beyond. Additionally, students engaged in a schoolwide STEAM Week, featuring hands-on projects and innovative learning experiences that encouraged creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration.
- Students at Magill have access to a wide range of extracurricular opportunities, including Kidz Life, Chorus, Honors Chorus, Drummers, Comet Elite Steppers, Robotics, News Crew, Photography Club, Girl Scouts, Bird Watchers’ Club, and many other enrichment activities that nurture student interests, talents, and leadership skills.
- Magill Elementary benefits from a highly engaged and supportive community. Families actively contribute through the PTA, School Council, and a robust volunteer program. This year, more than 100 volunteers supported school events and initiatives. Through the efforts of our PTA, every student received a free book from the GCPS Book Mobile, while our principal and School Council partnered to launch a schoolwide anti-bullying campaign that promotes kindness, respect, and inclusion.
- We believe strong school-family partnerships are essential to student success. Throughout the year, families participated in a variety of workshops designed to support student learning and development, including sessions on Special Education Resources, Supporting Multilingual Learners, Supporting Gifted Students, SOAR Math Lessons, Technology Thursdays, Math Night, Literacy Night, STEAM Night, and Georgia Milestones preparation.
- Families also enjoyed numerous community-building events that strengthened relationships and school spirit, including the Fall and Spring Carnivals, Food Truck Fridays, Father-Daughter Dance, Mother-Son Dance, and Sip, Paint, and Pen events.
- Magill staff, families, and community partners continue to work together to enhance our campus by refurbishing the outdoor classroom, community garden, and chicken coop, creating meaningful outdoor learning environments that support hands-on exploration, environmental stewardship, and student engagement.
