There were 112 ninth grade students enrolled in Miller County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 24.8% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Miller County High School was the only school in the county during the 2022-23 school year.

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

Statewide, Miller County ranked 148th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 1,397 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 148th 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.
