I ran across a story in the Gwinnett Daily Post mentioning that Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) is getting ready to make a few changes for the 2011-2012 school year. Basically, they need to balance out the Peachtree Ridge and Duluth clusters, open the new Moore Middle School in the Central Gwinnett cluster and shift a couple of Elementary Schools in the Shiloh cluster.
Peachtree Ridge High School and Hull Middle School are both over capacity. The schools that will likely be affected are Peachtree Ridge High, Duluth High, Hull Middle, Duluth Middle, Mason Elementary, Chesney Elementary and BB Harris Elementary. And while GCPS is still working on the boundaries, they expect that less than 1,000 studtents will be affected. Maps should be available later today with the new boundaries.
In 2009, GCPS announced the new Moore Middle School in the Central Gwinnett High School cluster. This adds a second middle school for the cluster. Lawrenceville and Winn Holt elementary schools will feed into the new Moore Middle School, while Cedar Hill, Jenkins, and Simonton elementary schools will continue to feed into Richards Middle. Moore will feed to Central Gwinnett, as will Richards.
There will be a shifting of elementary attendance zones in the Shiloh Cluster as sections of Spain Road, Waterfront Place, Hadley Place and Forest Bend Road will move to Partee ES from Annistown ES. This change also was part of the approved redistricting in December 2009.
