White Oak Elementary School reported an enrollment of six Asian students in the 2024-25 school year—14.3% fewer compared to the prior year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.
Total enrollment at White Oak Elementary reached 696 students for 2024-25. Of these, Asian students represented 1%, forming the smallest demographic group at the school.
The school is part of the Coweta County School District, which has its central office in Newnan.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, state data shows Georgia public school students were approximately 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.
After the pandemic, chronic absenteeism remains a key challenge in Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. The agency launched a statewide initiative that features a real-time dashboard, public awareness efforts, and additional resources aimed at supporting the daily attendance of students, especially in high-need districts.
In 2025, Georgia lawmakers updated school attendance policy so students can no longer be expelled solely due to absences. The new law also requires expanded reporting and is structured to work with programs that support alternative paths to a diploma.
By 2026, Georgia achieved an average student-teacher ratio of approximately 14:1, lower than the national average of 15:1.
