Ethel W. Kight Elementary School welcomed the largest number of first grade students among county schools, registering 223 students during the 2022-23 school year.
Within Troup County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in 12th grade.
Statewide, Troup County ranked 34th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 23,246 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 34th the year before.
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.
