Ferguson Elementary registered 25 multiracial students for the 2024-25 academic year. This figure matched the enrollment from the prior year, based on data from the Georgia Department of Education.
Records show the school’s total enrollment reached 842 in 2024-25, with multiracial students accounting for 3% of the overall student population—placing them among the smaller demographic groups at the campus.
The school is part of Gwinnett County School District, which is administratively based in Lawrenceville.
Within Gwinnett County School District’s 140 schools, Brookwood High School reported the highest number of multiracial students in 2024-25, with an enrollment of 187 in this group.
Data from the National Center for Education Statistics showed the statewide distribution of public school students in Georgia as 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 an ongoing challenge across Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students absent for 10% or more of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. To address this, GaDOE initiated new statewide efforts such as an attendance dashboard, an awareness campaign, and expanded support for districts with persistent absenteeism concerns.
By 2025, Georgia lawmakers approved a bill to revise school attendance laws and prohibit expulsion based strictly on absenteeism. The changes also introduce new reporting standards and connect with alternative diploma pathways for students.
As of 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of around 14:1, lower than the national rate of 15:1.
