There were two Native American students enrolled in Towns 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 Towns County welcomed 923 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, Native American students comprised less than 0.1% of the student body to be the least represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the three schools in Towns County, Towns County Middle School was the only school enrolling Native American 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.
