Attendance zone

Zones are set by Gwinnett County Public Schools and do not follow city limits. Check any address with Find My School, or see the district’s Peachtree Ridge Cluster map (PDF). In the analysis behind our neighborhoods guide, which matched Gwinnett County’s address points inside Duluth to the district’s 2026 zone map, about 10% of addresses in the city are zoned for Peachtree Ridge High, all on the east side: most of the Bunten Road and Duluth Highway area and part of Sugarloaf. The rest of the city is zoned for Duluth High.

Duluth students in this zone come up through Mason Elementary, Parsons Elementary or Burnette Elementary and then Hull Middle, according to the district’s 2026 zone map data. The district’s Peachtree Ridge Cluster page lists two middle schools, Hull and Northbrook, and four elementary schools, Burnette, Jackson, Mason and Parsons.

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 academics pages list Advanced Placement courses; SPIRE, the “STEM Program for Innovation, Rigor, and Excellence,” which any student can opt into; LEAP, the Literacy & Entrepreneurship Advancement Program, which pairs language arts credit with the marketing management pathway; and career pathways that include entrepreneurship, accounting, teaching as a profession, game design, computer science, web development, exercise physiology, allied health and medicine, and sports and entertainment marketing.
