There were five Asian students enrolled in Rabun County school in the 2023-24 school year, 100% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.
Data showed that Rabun County welcomed 2,173 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised less than 0.1% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the four schools in Rabun County, Rabun County Primary School was the only school enrolling Asian students in the 2023-24 school year.
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.
