There were 303 Black students enrolled in Miller County school in the 2022-23 school year, 6.3% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Data showed that Miller County welcomed 705 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Black students comprised 43% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the three schools in Miller County, Miller County Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Black students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 138 students.

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.
