Freeman’s Mill Elementary School

What this school is

• Robotics — two FIRST LEGO League teams and a before-school Robotics Club (GCPS school profile).
• PBIS and No Place for Hate programs.
• Gifted (FOCUS) — GCPS elementary gifted services for students who qualify; each school chooses the settings (resource, cluster, advanced content) (GCPS FOCUS page). Ask how FOCUS is delivered here.

Test scores and state ratings are not reproduced here — check GaDOE CCRPI and GOSA directly. Rankings: Not publicly available in this guide.

How families get in

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

• Next step (GCPS Mountain View cluster page): Twin Rivers Middle School. Confirm your address with GCPS 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):

• Black ≈ 28% · Hispanic ≈ 25% · White ≈ 24% · Asian ≈ 17% · Two or more ≈ 6% · other groups hidden (very small)
• Total enrollment about 1,000 students (GCPS directory, rounded)
• Student mix score: 77.0 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.
