According to data for the 2024-25 school year, the total number of students at Morgan County Primary School reached 760, with white students representing 67% of enrollment—the school’s largest demographic group.

Enrollment in Georgia public schools surpassed 1.7 million, based on the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Elementary grades accounted for the highest share with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 middle school students (22.7%) and 539,092 high school students (31.4%).

Chronic absenteeism continues to significantly impact Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. GaDOE initiated a statewide program featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and focused support for districts with higher needs to raise attendance rates.

In 2025, Georgia lawmakers approved changes to the state’s attendance policy, prohibiting expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The revised law introduces new reporting obligations and connects with programs that support students earning diplomas through alternative routes.

As of 2026, Georgia schools maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio near 14:1, which the national average of 15:1 slightly exceeded.
