Brookwood High School served 676 Hispanic students in the 2024-25 school year, reflecting a 1.7% decrease compared to the prior year, reports from the Georgia Department of Education show.

Total enrollment at Brookwood High School reached 3,759 students for the 2024-25 period. Hispanic students constituted 18% of the population, making them the second-smallest ethnic group represented on campus.

The school is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which has its central office in Lawrenceville.

Statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics indicate that Georgia public school enrollment consisted of about 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 students.

Chronic absenteeism is a continuing challenge for Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of their school days in 2024, as cited by the Georgia Department of Education. In an effort to address this, the GaDOE began a new statewide initiative that includes a live attendance dashboard, outreach campaigns, and specialized support for high-need districts to improve student attendance.

In 2025, state lawmakers changed Georgia’s school attendance laws, banning expulsion for absenteeism alone. The legislation also implements new reporting standards and connects with alternative diploma grant programs for eligible students.

Data from 2026 show that Georgia had an average student-teacher ratio of around 14:1, outperforming the nationwide average of 15:1.
