Statewide, Calhoun County ranked 139th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 2,039 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 139th 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.
