Attendance zone
Zones are set by Gwinnett County Public Schools and do not follow city limits. Check any address with Find My School. In the analysis behind our neighborhoods guide, which matched Gwinnett County’s address points inside Duluth to the district’s 2026 zone map, about 29% of addresses in the city are zoned for Duluth Middle: North Berkeley, South Buford Highway, most of Howell Ferry Road and part of downtown and Pleasant Hill Road.
Three elementary schools feed Duluth Middle, according to the district’s 2026 zone map data: Berkeley Lake, Chesney and Harris. Students go on to Duluth High.
We found no rezoning approved by the Board of Education that changes this zone. Gwinnett County Public Schools paused its multi-year redistricting plan effective Sept. 23, 2026, said it will not redraw attendance boundaries for the 2027-28 school year, and plans community conversations in the second semester; our schools guide has the details.
The school’s website links to the district’s International Newcomer Center and calls Duluth Middle “A Nationally Recognized School of Excellence.”
