How families get in

Type: Zoned GCPS cluster high school — assigned by home address (not a lottery or application school).

• Students who live in the Collins Hill attendance zone attend here. Confirm your address with GCPS (see the cluster list and school directory) before buying or renting for a school.
• Living elsewhere in Gwinnett: a permissive transfer is possible only if the school is on GCPS’s current transfer list. Approvals are capacity-based and must be renewed each year — see GCPS permissive transfers.
• Admit rate: Not applicable (zoned school).

Never treat social media dates as official.

Who it tends to fit

Students

Race/ethnicity mix (GaDOE FTE enrollment count; approximate percentages, not a ranking):

• Hispanic ≈ 35% · Black ≈ 33% · White ≈ 15% · Asian ≈ 11% · Two or more ≈ 6% · other groups hidden (very small)
• Total enrollment about 2,450 students (GCPS directory, rounded)
• Student mix score: 73.1 out of 100 (Gwinnett County overall: 72.9) — the chance that two randomly chosen students are from different racial/ethnic groups; 0 = all one group, higher = more mixed. This guide’s own calculation, 100 × (1 − Σ group share²), from GaDOE enrollment counts — not an official GCPS or state rating, and it does not reflect income or education.
