Rosebud Elementary School recorded the enrollment of 39 multiracial students for the 2024-25 school year, reflecting an 18.8% decline from the prior year, Georgia Department of Education data shows.

Overall, Rosebud Elementary School enrolled 982 students during 2024-25. Multiracial students comprised 4% of the population, ranking among the smallest demographics at the school.

The school is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is headquartered in Lawrenceville.

Figures from the National Center for Education Statistics indicate that public school students in Georgia were about 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 to affect Georgia schools since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more days of school in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reports. Efforts to address this include a statewide initiative providing a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness programs, and focused support for areas with higher need to improve attendance.

Georgia lawmakers approved legislation in 2025 updating school attendance policies, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The new law also implements revised reporting standards and supports alternative diploma pathways.

By 2026, Georgia’s average student-teacher ratio was about 14:1, which is an improvement over the national ratio of 15:1, according to Public School Review.
