How families get in

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

  • Feeder elementary schools (GCPS Meadowcreek cluster page): Lilburn Elementary School, Nesbit Elementary School and Rockbridge Elementary School. Confirm your address with GCPS before buying or renting for a school.
  • Next step: Lilburn Middle students continue within the Meadowcreek cluster, which is served by Meadowcreek High School and McClure Health Science High School. Families should confirm the current high school selection and enrollment process with GCPS.
  • 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 Lilburn Middle zone (Lilburn, Nesbit or Rockbridge elementary feeders).
  • Your student wants theatre or JLC.
  • Your student is a multilingual learner and you want to ask about English language supports.

Think twice when

  • Your student does better in a smaller school — the GCPS directory lists about 1,650 students.
  • 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 ≈ 81% · Black ≈ 10% · Asian ≈ 7% · White ≈ 2% · hidden by GaDOE (small counts): Two or more, plus other very small groups
  • Total enrollment about 1,650 students (GCPS directory, rounded)
  • Student mix score: 32.5 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. Several groups are hidden in the GaDOE report for this school, so treat the score as approximate.
