Total enrollment at Trip Elementary School for the 2024-25 academic year was 1,601 students. Of this number, Asian students represented 9% of the student body, the third-smallest demographic group within the school.
The school operates as part of the Gwinnett County School District, whose central office is located in Lawrenceville.
Out of 140 schools in the Gwinnett County School District, North Gwinnett High School reported the highest number of Asian students registered for the 2024-25 academic year, with 1,023 students.
According to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report, Georgia’s public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students. Elementary grades had the highest enrollment at 787,206 (45.9%), followed by 388,733 in middle school (22.7%) and 539,092 in high school (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism has continued to affect Georgia schools in the years since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. Efforts to address this include a statewide initiative launched by GaDOE that features a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign and targeted support for high-need areas.
Legislation passed by Georgia lawmakers in 2025 updated school attendance statutes, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The changes also require new reporting and better support for programs providing alternative paths to a diploma.
By 2026, Georgia’s student-to-teacher ratio averaged 14:1, which is lower than the national average of 15:1.
