There were 191 fifth grade students enrolled in Randolph County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 22.4% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Randolph County Elementary School welcomed the largest number of fifth grade students among county schools, registering 108 students during the 2022-23 school year.

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

Statewide, Randolph County ranked 133rd in enrollment numbers, with a total of 2,203 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was ranked 137th 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.
