Greenbrier High School enrolls 154 Hispanic students in 2024-25

In the 2024-25 school year, Greenbrier High School had 154 Hispanic students, a decrease of 8.9% from the prior year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

Total enrollment at Greenbrier High School was 1,929 students for 2024-25. Hispanic students accounted for 8% of the student population, ranking as the school’s third-largest group.

The school is a part of Columbia County Public Schools, operated from a central office in Evans.

The National Center for Education Statistics reported that Georgia public school student demographics were about 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander.

Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant concern in Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of school days in 2024, as stated by the Georgia Department of Education. In response, GaDOE introduced statewide measures—including a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness outreach, and support targeted at high-need districts—to promote better daily attendance.

By 2025, Georgia lawmakers updated school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely for absences. This legislation introduces new reporting criteria and supports students in earning their diplomas by alternate methods.

Georgia’s student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1 by 2026, outperforming the national average of 15:1, according to Public School Review.
