There were 566 ninth grade students enrolled in Morgan County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 2.4% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Morgan County High School was the only school in the county during the 2022-23 school year.

Within Morgan County schools, the highest student count was found in seventh grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in kindergarten.

Statewide, Morgan County ranked 79th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 6,814 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was ranked 85th the year before.

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.
