White students account for 11% of Grayson High School’s enrollment for 2024-25

Grayson High School reported an enrollment of 396 white students during the 2024-25 school year, a 4.3% decrease compared to the prior year, according to figures from the Georgia Department of Education.

In total, Grayson High School’s enrollment reached 3,602 students for 2024-25. White students represented 11% of that population, placing them as the third-largest demographic at the school.

The school operates within the Gwinnett County School District, whose administrative offices are based in Lawrenceville.

Out of 140 schools in the Gwinnett County School District, North Gwinnett High School had the largest number of white students enrolled in the 2024-25 school year, recording 1,113 students.

The National Center for Education Statistics reports public school student demographics in Georgia as roughly 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 persists in Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, the state education department launched new efforts such as an attendance dashboard, public awareness campaigns, and focused assistance to high-need districts to increase daily attendance.

In 2025, the Georgia legislature passed a bill amending attendance laws to prohibit expulsions based solely on absences. The measure also requires additional reporting and aligns with programs supporting alternate pathways to graduation.

By 2026, Georgia schools averaged a student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 14:1, which is lower than the national rate of 15:1.
