In the 2024-25 school year, Carrollton Elementary School had 100 multiracial students enrolled, reflecting a 13.8% decrease compared to the prior year, reports the Georgia Department of Education.
Total enrollment at Carrollton Elementary School reached 1,672 students for 2024-25. Multiracial students accounted for 6% of the overall student body, making them the school’s third-smallest demographic group.
The school operates within the Carrollton City School District, which is headquartered in Carrollton.
Carrollton High School posted the largest enrollment of multiracial students among the district’s four schools, with 109 enrolled during the 2024-25 school year.
Georgia public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students, based on the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Most students were in elementary grades at 787,206 (45.9%), followed by middle school with 388,733 (22.7%), and high school totaling 539,092 (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students absent for 10% or more of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, the GaDOE instituted a statewide effort that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public campaign, and tailored support for districts with greater need to improve daily attendance.
Georgia lawmakers updated school attendance laws in 2025, prohibiting expulsions based solely on absenteeism. The changes also introduce new reporting standards and integrate with programs helping students earn diplomas via alternative options.
By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, surpassing the national average of 15:1.
