There were 683 seventh grade students enrolled in Grady County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 0.9% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Washington Middle School welcomed the largest number of seventh grade students among county schools, registering 461 students during the 2022-23 school year.

Within Grady County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in 12th grade.

Statewide, Grady County ranked 63rd in enrollment numbers, with a total of 8,370 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 63rd 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.
