    • GCPS Pre-K Lottery 

      For the 2023–24 school year, Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) will continue the pilot Pre-K program in eight Gwinnett elementary schools— Anderson-Livsey, Beaver Ridge, Benefield, Hopkins, Lawrenceville, McKendree, Nesbit, and Norton. Each pilot school will have two Pre-K classes serving 16 students per class. Families who live in the eight pilot school attendance zones may enter their child in the GCPS Pre-K Lottery if they are interested in their child attending one of these classes.

      Go to www.gcpsk12.org/pre-k to sign up your child for the Pre-K Lottery. Signing up does not guarantee your child a spot in the class. However, it ensures that your child will be included in the lottery process.
