There were 177 ninth grade students enrolled in Wilkinson County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 14.5% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

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

Within Wilkinson County schools, the highest student count was found in 10th grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in third grade.

Statewide, Wilkinson County ranked 136th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 2,108 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 136th 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.
