Boys made up 51% of the county's student body, while the other 49% were girls.
Data also showed that African American students made up 55.8% of the student body, the largest percentage in Meriwether County schools, followed by white students with 33.3%, 5.8% multiracial students, 3.9% Hispanic students and 0.7% Asian students.
Mountain View Elementary School stood out with the highest enrollment among Meriwether County's seven schools in the 2022-23 cycle, welcoming 654 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.
