Reports from the Georgia Department of Education show that Camp Creek Elementary School enrolled 349 Hispanic students in the 2024-25 school year, marking a 6.4% increase compared with the previous year.

The 2024-25 enrollment figures at Camp Creek Elementary revealed a total of 1,398 students. Hispanic students made up 25% of the population, establishing them as the school’s second-largest student group.

Camp Creek Elementary operates within Gwinnett County School District, which has its central office in Lawrenceville.

Berkmar High School had the largest Hispanic student enrollment in Gwinnett County School District among 140 schools, with 2,072 Hispanic students in the 2024-25 school year.

More than 1.7 million students attended Georgia’s public schools as stated in the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Elementary grades saw the most students, with 787,206 (45.9%), followed by 388,733 (22.7%) in middle school and 539,092 (31.4%) in high school.

Chronic absenteeism persists as a key concern in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students absent for at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. The GaDOE responded with new statewide efforts, including a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and additional support for schools with the greatest needs to improve daily attendance rates.

In 2025, Georgia lawmakers amended school attendance statutes to prohibit expulsion for absenteeism alone. The updated law introduces expanded reporting obligations and supports alternate pathways for earning a diploma.

For 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio around 14:1, slightly better than the U.S. national average of 15:1.
