What this school is

  • IB Middle Years Programme — the school’s IB page describes the MYP framework and refers to an inclusive model. Ask whether every student takes part.
  • World languages — Spanish, French, Spanish for Native Speakers and DLI Spanish continuation (school World Languages page). Students scoring 80% or higher continue yearlong in 7th and 8th grade and can leave with one high school language credit. GCPS lists this school among the middle schools that continue its elementary DLI Spanish program; it is a cohort program for students coming from a DLI elementary path, not a schoolwide model (GCPS DLI news page).
  • Building project — GCPS reports a major addition and renovation project. Plans include new band, orchestra and chorus rooms, a chemistry lab, a MIDI music-production lab, a PE activity room, and renovations to science classrooms and career-technical spaces.
  • Gifted (PROBE) — GCPS middle schools offer gifted classes in math, science, social studies and language arts for students who qualify, placed by area of strength (GCPS PROBE page). Ask which subjects are offered here.

How families get in

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

  • Feeder elementary schools (GCPS Shiloh cluster page): Anderson-Livsey Elementary School, Annistown Elementary School, Centerville Elementary School, Partee Elementary School and Shiloh Elementary School. Confirm your address with GCPS before buying or renting for a school.
  • Next step: students go on to Shiloh High 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 Shiloh Middle zone (Anderson-Livsey, Annistown, Centerville, Partee or Shiloh elementary feeders).
  • Your student is continuing DLI Spanish from Annistown Elementary.
  • Your student wants JLC or a world language with high school credit.

Think twice when

  • Construction on campus would bother your student — ask how the renovation affects daily routines.
  • You live outside the zone and need a guaranteed transfer seat.

Students

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

  • Black ≈ 55% · Hispanic ≈ 30% · Asian ≈ 5% · White ≈ 5% · Two or more ≈ 4% · other groups hidden (very small)
  • Total enrollment about 1,600 students (GCPS directory, rounded)
  • Student mix score: 59.3 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.
