In the 2024-25 school year, Norcross High School had 67 multiracial students, reflecting a 4.3% decrease from the prior year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.
The school reported a total enrollment of 2,250 students for 2024-25. Multiracial students represented 3% of the total student body, making them the smallest demographic group at the school.
Norcross High School is part of Gwinnett County School District, based in Lawrenceville.

More than 1.7 million students attended Georgia public schools, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. The state saw its largest enrollment at the elementary level with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by middle school with 388,733 students (22.7%) and high school with 539,092 students (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools post-pandemic, as 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. The GaDOE has responded with a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign and targeted support for high-need districts to increase attendance rates.
In 2025, Georgia legislators approved a measure updating school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The law also introduces new reporting obligations and aligns with programs offering alternative diploma pathways.
For 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-teacher ratio of approximately 14:1, outperforming the national average ratio of 15:1.
