Gwinnett County Public Schools is rated #18 among Best School Districts in Georgia on Niche (4.11 out of 5 overall), serving 182,518 students with an 18-to-1 student-teacher ratio -- a large, solid district, but one that sits meaningfully behind the #1-ranked districts in the state on this particular aggregator's methodology.
