Total enrollment at Evans Middle School reached 735 students during 2024-25. Hispanic students comprised 13% of the population, ranking as the third-largest demographic group in the school.
The school is part of the Coweta County School District, which has its central office in Newnan.

Georgia’s public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students, based on the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Enrollment was highest at the elementary level, totaling 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by middle schools with 388,733 students (22.7%) and high schools with 539,092 students (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to pose a significant concern in Georgia schools since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative that features a real-time attendance dashboard, public outreach efforts, and specialized support for districts with higher needs to increase daily attendance rates.
In 2025, state lawmakers approved changes to Georgia attendance laws prohibiting expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The legislation also introduces additional reporting rules and better aligns with alternative pathways for students seeking diplomas.
By 2026, Georgia’s median student-to-teacher ratio was around 14:1, an improvement over the national ratio of 15:1.
