There were 2,136 students enrolled in Rabun County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 2.3% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Boys made up 50.6% of the county's student body, while the other 49.4% were girls.

Data also showed that white students made up 77.9% of the student body, the largest percentage in Rabun County schools, followed by Hispanic students with 16.4%, 3.3% multiracial students, 0.7% African American students and 0.4% American Indian or Alaska Native students.

Rabun County Elementary School stood out with the highest enrollment among Rabun County's four schools in the 2022-23 cycle, welcoming 663 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.
