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 Duluth 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

A good match when

  • You live in the Duluth zone and your student is interested in JROTC or leadership programs.
  • Your student wants theatre or performing arts at a comprehensive school.
  • Your student wants a CTAE pathway with an industry-style credential.

Think twice when

  • Your student wants a standalone, schoolwide theme school (STEM, health science or IB) — Duluth offers engineering, computer science and healthcare pathways within a comprehensive high school.
  • Your student needs a very small school.
  • You live outside the zone and need a guaranteed transfer seat.

Students

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

  • Hispanic ≈ 48% · Black ≈ 26% · Asian ≈ 12% · White ≈ 11% · Two or more ≈ 4% · other groups hidden (very small)
  • Total enrollment about 2,550 students (GCPS directory, rounded)
  • Student mix score: 68.0 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.
