In the 2024-25 school year, Rockbridge Elementary School enrolled 9 white students, matching the prior year’s total, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

Total enrollment at Rockbridge Elementary School reached 992 students for 2024-25. White students represented just 1% of the population, making them the institution’s smallest demographic group.

The school operates under the Gwinnett County School District, which is based in Lawrenceville.

Within Gwinnett County School District’s 140 schools, North Gwinnett High School registered the largest white student enrollment for 2024-25, totaling 1,113 students.

The Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report noted more than 1.7 million public school students statewide. The highest enrollment was in elementary education, comprising 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by middle school with 388,733 students (22.7%), and high school at 539,092 students (31.4%).

The Georgia Department of Education reported that 20.7% of students were chronically absent—missing 10% or more of school days—in 2024, continuing a post-pandemic trend. To tackle this, the state agency launched a statewide attendance effort, adding real-time attendance dashboards, public outreach, and targeted support for high-need areas to encourage daily participation.

In 2025, legislation updated attendance policy in Georgia schools, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism and increasing reporting standards. The changes support alternate diploma programs for students.

By 2026, Georgia schools averaged a student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 14:1, better than the national ratio of 15:1.
