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 20% of addresses in the city are zoned for Harris: South Buford Highway, almost all of North Berkeley, most of downtown and part of the core neighborhoods.

Harris students go on to Duluth Middle and then Duluth High, according to the district’s 2026 zone map data and its Duluth Cluster page.

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.
