Boys made up 52% of the county's student body, while the other 48% were girls.
Data also showed that white students made up 55.3% of the student body, the largest percentage in Carroll County schools, followed by African American students with 22.3%, 14.6% Hispanic students, 6.4% multiracial students, 0.9% Asian students and less than 0.1% American Indian or Alaska Native students.
Villa Rica High School stood out with the highest enrollment among Carroll County's 28 schools in the 2022-23 cycle, welcoming 1,752 students.
While enrollment in Georgia inches closer to pre-pandemic levels, chronic absenteeism remains a serious challenge. In 2023, a significant portion of students (23%) missed 10% or more of their classes. Although this is slightly better than the peak of 25% in 2022, it's still nearly double the pre-pandemic rate of 13% recorded in 2019.
