There were 159 first grade students enrolled in Treutlen County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 15.2% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Treutlen Elementary School was the only school in the county during the 2022-23 school year.

Within Treutlen County schools, the highest student count was found in seventh grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in 12th grade.

Statewide, Treutlen County ranked 143rd in enrollment numbers, with a total of 1,902 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was ranked 141st 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.
