For the 2024-25 school year, reports from the Georgia Department of Education indicated Archer High School had 120 Asian students enrolled, reflecting a 0.8% decline from the prior year.

Total enrollment at Archer High School reached 3,002 students in 2024-25. Asian students accounted for 4% of the total student population, ranking among the school’s smallest demographic groups.

The school operates within the Gwinnett County School District, whose central office is in Lawrenceville.

North Gwinnett High School had the highest number of Asian students in Gwinnett County School District in 2024-25, with 1,023 enrolled, out of the district’s 140 schools.

The National Center for Education Statistics reported that public school students in Georgia were approximately 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander.

Chronic absenteeism has persisted as a challenge in Georgia schools following the pandemic. In 2024, 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, GaDOE launched statewide measures including a real-time attendance dashboard, increased public awareness, and targeted support for high-need districts to improve daily attendance.

Georgia lawmakers passed an updated school attendance bill in 2025, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The legislation introduced new reporting requirements and supports alternative diploma pathways for students.

Average student-to-teacher ratios in Georgia were around 14:1 in 2026, according to data, improving upon the national average of 15:1.
