There were 303 white students enrolled in Early County school in the 2022-23 school year, 12.4% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Data showed that Early County welcomed 1,577 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 19.2% of the student body to be the second most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the three schools in Early County, Early County Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 130 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.
