How families get in

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

  • Next step (GCPS North Gwinnett cluster page): North Gwinnett Middle School. Confirm your address with GCPS before buying or renting for a school.
  • Pre-K: the GCPS directory lists Pre-K at this school; enrollment is separate from K–5 zoning — ask the school or GCPS Early Learning.
  • 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 Roberts zone and want your child to move on to North Gwinnett Middle School with neighborhood classmates.
  • You want many club choices built into the school day.

Think twice when

  • You live outside the zone and need a guaranteed transfer seat.

Students

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

  • Asian ≈ 48% · White ≈ 23% · Black ≈ 14% · Hispanic ≈ 10% · Two or more ≈ 6% · other groups hidden (very small)
  • Total enrollment about 950 students (GCPS directory, rounded)
  • Student mix score: 68.8 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.
