In the 2024-25 school year, Brookwood High School reported enrolling 187 multiracial students, a 2.1% decrease from the prior year, based on data from the Georgia Department of Education.

With a total student body of 3,759, multiracial students accounted for 5% of enrollment, making them the smallest demographic group at the school.

Brookwood High School is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is headquartered in Lawrenceville.

Among all 140 schools in the Gwinnett County School District, Brookwood High School had the largest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2024-25 school year, totaling 187 students.

The National Center for Education Statistics reports that in Georgia public schools, the racial and ethnic distribution was 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 remains a persistent concern in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students absent for 10% or more school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, the department has introduced a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted assistance for districts with the highest needs to improve attendance rates.

In 2025, a law was enacted by Georgia legislators updating school attendance policies, prohibiting expulsion solely due to absenteeism. Additional provisions include enhanced reporting obligations and alignment with alternative programs that provide diploma pathways.

By 2026, Georgia achieved an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, outperforming the national average ratio of 15:1.
