In the 2024-25 school year, Hopkins Elementary School had 65 Asian students enrolled, which marks a 1.5% decrease compared to the prior year, based on Georgia Department of Education data.
During that term, the school’s total enrollment stood at 1,096. Asian students represented 6% of the total student population, making them the third-largest demographic group at the school.
Hopkins Elementary is part of the Gwinnett County School District, headquartered in Lawrenceville.
Among all 140 schools in the Gwinnett County School District, North Gwinnett High School had the highest Asian student enrollment for 2024-25, with 1,023 students.
The National Center for Education Statistics reported that Georgia public school students were 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 continues as a significant challenge for Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more days of instruction in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To combat this, GaDOE has implemented a statewide attendance initiative involving a new real-time dashboard, public awareness efforts, and targeted support for districts with higher needs.
In 2025, Georgia enacted legislation revising school attendance policies and eliminating expulsion solely for absenteeism. The law introduces additional reporting requirements and supports programs designed to help students graduate through alternative options.
By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, lower than the nationwide average of 15:1.
