There were 2,686 students enrolled in Dodge County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 1.9% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Boys made up 52.2% of the county's student body, while the other 47.8% were girls.

Data also showed that white students made up 54.3% of the student body, the largest percentage in Dodge County schools, followed by African American students with 34.2%, 5.1% Hispanic students, 4.5% multiracial students and 0.7% Asian students.

Dodge County High School stood out with the highest enrollment among Dodge County's six schools in the 2022-23 cycle, welcoming 829 students.

While enrollment in Georgia inches closer to pre-pandemic levels, chronic absenteeism remains a serious challenge. In 2023, a significant portion of students (23%) missed 10% or more of their classes. Although this is slightly better than the peak of 25% in 2022, it's still nearly double the pre-pandemic rate of 13% recorded in 2019.
