There were 41 11th grade students enrolled in Glascock County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 2.4% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Glascock County Middle/High School was the only school in the county during the 2023-24 school year.

Within Glascock County schools, the highest student count was found in second grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in fourth grade.

Statewide, Glascock County ranked 152nd in enrollment numbers, with a total of 537 students enrolled in the 2023-24 school year. It was also ranked 152nd the year before.

According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2024 reading report for Georgia 4th graders, the racial and ethnic composition of public school students was approximately 38% Black, 36% white, 17% Hispanic, 4% Asian, and 5% identifying as multiracial.

Chronic absenteeism remains a major issue in Georgia schools post-pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, GaDOE launched a statewide initiative including a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted support for high-need districts to boost daily attendance.

In 2025, Georgia lawmakers passed a bill updating school attendance laws to ban expulsion solely for absenteeism. The law also adds new reporting requirements and aligns with programs that help students earn diplomas through alternative paths.

As of 2025, Georgia has an average student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 14:1, which is better than the national average of 15:1. The state’s best ratios are found in preschool, with an average of 13:1, and in elementary and middle school grades, both at 14:1, while high schools have a higher average ratio of 16:1.
