Hispanics now one-third of Hall County students - Gainsville, Georgia

Hispanics have long dominated the student population in Gainesville city schools, but the ethnic group is quickly becoming a predominant group in Hall County schools as well.

The group makes up nearly 34 percent of Hall’s overall enrollment of 25,585 students, according to October enrollment counts recently released by the Georgia Department of Education.

Just six years ago, Hispanics made up 22 percent, or little more than a fifth, of students in the system.
Meanwhile, during that same period, the number of white students has dropped to 14,498 students from 14,672. Whites used to make up 69.5 percent of the enrollment; they now make up 56.7 percent.”*
