School Overview

Gwinnett Intervention Education (GIVE) West, located in Norcross, Georgia, is one of two specialized alternative schools within the Gwinnett County Public Schools system. The school is designed to serve middle and high school students who have struggled in traditional classroom environments or who require a more structured, individualized setting to get back on track. By offering a smaller student-to-teacher ratio and targeted academic support, GIVE West provides a "fresh start" for students who may have faced disciplinary challenges, attendance issues, or difficulties with the standard instructional pace.

The school’s curriculum focuses on credit recovery and behavioral intervention, aiming to help students transition back to their home schools successfully or progress toward graduation. Beyond core academics, GIVE West emphasizes personal responsibility, character development, and social-emotional learning. By creating a focused, supportive atmosphere, the institution seeks to remove the barriers to success that students may have encountered elsewhere, ultimately fostering a culture of accountability and academic achievement.
