It is one of GCPS’s College & Career Ready Academy high schools: zoned students join a career-themed academy (a small learning community) that groups related courses and electives — confirm current academy choices with the school.

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 Shiloh attendance zone attend here. Confirm your address with GCPS (see the cluster list and school directory) before buying or renting for a school.
  • The academy model applies to zoned students; academy choices are made with school counselors.
  • 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 Shiloh zone and your student wants the IB Diploma.
  • Your student is interested in graphic design, film or marketing.
  • You like an academy structure combined with an advanced academic track.

Think twice when

  • Your student prefers to pick individual AP courses rather than a structured diploma program.
  • Your student wants to avoid choosing an academy early.
  • You live outside the zone and are counting on a transfer for IB.

Students

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

  • Black ≈ 60% · Hispanic ≈ 30% · White ≈ 4% · Asian ≈ 3% · Two or more ≈ 3% · other groups hidden (very small)
  • Total enrollment about 2,100 students (GCPS directory, rounded)
  • Student mix score: 55.0 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.
