Troup County High School had the highest enrollment among Troup County schools, welcoming 1,300 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 50% of them were male, and 50% were female.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 51% of the Troup County High School total enrollment.

Among the 19 schools in Troup County, LaGrange High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,267 students, while Gardner-Newman Middle School welcomed 1,010 students to be ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Troup County High School is part of Troup County School District, which generally encompasses schools within Troup County, with its main office in LaGrange.

In the previous school year, Troup County High School also had the highest number of students among Troup County schools.

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.
