Carrollton High School had 436 Hispanic students enrolled for the 2024-25 school year, reflecting a 2.9% decrease compared to the prior year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.
Records indicate that the school’s total student population was 1,820 in the 2024-25 school year. Hispanic students comprised 24% of all enrollees, making up the school’s third-largest student group.
The high school is part of Carrollton City School District, which is headquartered in Carrollton.
Out of the four schools operated by Carrollton City School District, Carrollton High School reported the greatest number of Hispanic students for the 2024-25 academic period, with 436 enrolled.
Statewide, Georgia’s public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students, according to the Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Elementary grades accounted for 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 in middle schools (22.7%), and 539,092 in high schools (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism is an ongoing concern in Georgia schools since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of classroom days in 2024, as reported by the Georgia Department of Education. In response, GaDOE instituted an attendance effort featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, an awareness campaign, and targeted district-level support to improve student attendance rates.
In 2025, Georgia legislators approved changes to school attendance policies, including a prohibition against expelling students solely for absenteeism. Updates also require additional data reporting and align with initiatives to support alternative diploma pathways.
By 2026, Georgia’s student-to-teacher ratio averaged roughly 14:1, surpassing the nationwide average of 15:1.
