South Gwinnett News

There were 30,226 seventh grade students enrolled in Gwinnett County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 3.7% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Trickum Middle School welcomed the largest number of seventh grade students among county schools, registering 1,468 students during the 2022-23 school year.

Within Gwinnett County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in kindergarten.

Statewide, Gwinnett County ranked first in enrollment numbers, with a total of 380,894 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked first the year before.

While enrollment in Georgia inches closer to pre-pandemic levels, chronic absenteeism remains a serious challenge. In 2023, a significant portion of students (23%) missed 10% or more of their classes. Although this is slightly better than the peak of 25% in 2022, it's still nearly double the pre-pandemic rate of 13% recorded in 2019.
