Jasper County Middle School reports 440 white students enrolled for 2024-25

In the 2024-25 school year, Jasper County Middle School counted 440 white students enrolled, a 0.7% increase from the previous year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

The school reported a total enrollment of 648 students for 2024-25. White students represented 68% of the overall population, making up the largest demographic at the school.

Jasper County Middle School is part of the Jasper County School District, which has its central office in Monticello.

Within the Jasper County School District’s four schools, Jasper County High School had the highest number of white students enrolled in 2024-25, with 519.

Over 1.7 million students attended Georgia’s public schools according to the Fiscal Year 2026-1 report from the Georgia Department of Education. Elementary grades made up the largest portion at 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by middle schools with 388,733 students (22.7%), and high schools with 539,092 students (31.4%).

The Georgia Department of Education reports that chronic absenteeism persists in the state’s schools, as 20.7% of students missed 10% or more of all school days in 2024. To address the issue, GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative featuring a live attendance dashboard, a public campaign to raise awareness, and focused assistance for districts with high absenteeism rates.

In 2025, Georgia lawmakers approved changes to school attendance laws, preventing expulsions solely due to absenteeism. The measure also requires additional reporting and supports alternate diploma pathways for students.

By 2026, Georgia had an average student-teacher ratio of around 14:1, an improvement compared to the national figure of 15:1.

Note: Due to potential gaps in the available data, reported percentages may not total exactly 100%.
