There were 69 sixth grade students enrolled in Stewart County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 11.3% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Stewart County Middle School was the only school in the county during the 2022-23 school year.

Within Stewart County schools, the highest student count was found in sixth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in third grade.

Statewide, Stewart County ranked 154th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 752 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 154th 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.
