There were 215 fourth grade students enrolled in Seminole County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 25% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Seminole County Elementary School was the only school in the county during the 2022-23 school year.

Within Seminole County schools, the highest student count was found in 10th grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in third grade.

Statewide, Seminole County ranked 122nd in enrollment numbers, with a total of 2,542 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was ranked 123rd 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.
