Lilburn Elementary School sees 25 multiracial students enrolled for 2024-25

For the 2024-25 school year, Lilburn Elementary School had 25 multiracial students enrolled, an increase of 92.3% compared with the prior year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

The school’s total enrollment came to 1,267 students for the 2024-25 period. Multiracial students accounted for 2% of the student population, making them the smallest group in the school.

The campus is part of Gwinnett County School District, which has its main office in Lawrenceville.

Of Gwinnett County School District’s 140 schools, Brookwood High School reported the highest multiracial student enrollment in 2024-25, with 187 students.

Data from the National Center for Education Statistics shows public school students in Georgia 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 remains a significant concern in Georgia schools in the aftermath of the pandemic. The Georgia Department of Education reports that 20.7% of students missed 10% or more school days in 2024. To address this, the department introduced a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign and added support for schools with the highest needs to improve daily attendance rates.

Georgia lawmakers approved legislation in 2025 amending school attendance rules to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The measure also sets new reporting standards and coordinates with programs helping students earn diplomas through alternative routes. More information can be found here.

By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which is better than the national average of 15:1.
