Reports from the Georgia Department of Education indicate that Grayson Elementary School enrolled 79 multiracial students for the 2024-25 school year, marking a 25.4% increase compared to the prior year.

Total enrollment at Grayson Elementary School reached 1,137 students for 2024-25. Multiracial students made up 7% of the population, representing the smallest demographic group at the school.

Located in Gwinnett County School District, Grayson Elementary’s central office is situated in Lawrenceville.

Brookwood High School, one of 140 schools within the Gwinnett County School District, had the largest number of multiracial enrollees in 2024-25, totaling 187 students.

Georgia’s public schools enrolled over 1.7 million students, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Elementary grades accounted for 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 middle school students (22.7%) and 539,092 high school students (31.4%).

The Georgia Department of Education notes that 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days in 2024, highlighting ongoing challenges with chronic absenteeism after the pandemic. In response, GaDOE started a statewide campaign that features a real-time attendance dashboard, a public outreach initiative, and more support for districts with higher needs to improve daily attendance rates.

In 2025, Georgia legislators approved updates to attendance laws prohibiting expulsion solely for truancy. The law also implements new reporting guidelines and coordinates with pathways for students to earn diplomas through alternative arrangements.

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