There were six multiracial students enrolled at Johnson County Middle School for the 2024-25 school year, a decrease of 57.1% from the prior year, data from the Georgia Department of Education shows.

The 2024-25 data indicated a total school enrollment of 222 students, with multiracial students accounting for 3% of the population, representing the smallest demographic group in the school.

The National Center for Education Statistics shows Georgia’s public school population is roughly 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native and 0.1% Pacific Islander.

After the pandemic, Georgia schools still face significant chronic absenteeism, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. The agency responded by launching a statewide initiative, which includes a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness efforts, and targeted programs for high-need districts to improve regular attendance.

In 2025, legislation updated state school attendance policies to prohibit expulsion based solely on absences, with additional requirements for reporting and programs supporting alternative diploma pathways.

As of 2026, the average student-teacher ratio in Georgia was about 14:1, which was an improvement over the national ratio of 15:1.
