In the 2024-25 school year, Lakeview Primary School enrolled 128 white students, marking a 12.9% decline compared to the prior year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

The total student body reached 512 during 2024-25. Of those, white students comprised 25%, making them the second-largest demographic group at the school.

Lakeview Primary School is part of the Baldwin County School District, headquartered in Milledgeville.

Out of six schools in Baldwin County School District, Baldwin High School recorded the most white students enrolled in 2024-25, with 247 individuals.

The National Center for Education Statistics reports that, statewide in Georgia, public school students identified as 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander.

Chronic absenteeism persists as a significant issue for Georgia schools since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students absent for 10% or more of school days in 2024, as found by the Georgia Department of Education. To address this challenge, GaDOE started a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness outreach, and additional support for high-need districts to improve daily attendance rates.

In 2025, state lawmakers approved changes to school attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The legislation creates additional reporting requirements and supports diploma attainment through alternative pathways.

For 2026, Georgia averaged a student-teacher ratio of roughly 14:1, lower than the national figure of 15:1.
