Grovetown High School had the highest enrollment among Columbia County schools, welcoming 2,164 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.

The most represented ethnicity among Grovetown High School students was Black, with 41% of students identifying as such.

Among the 30 schools in Columbia County, Lakeside High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,890 students, while Evans High School welcomed 1,855 students to be ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Grovetown High School is part of Columbia County Public Schools, which generally encompasses schools within Columbia County, with its main office in Grovetown.

In the previous school year, Grovetown High School also had the highest number of students among Columbia 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.
