Data showed that Lumpkin County school district welcomed 3,700 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 86% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the county's school district.
This is the only school district located within Lumpkin County, with its main office in Dahlonega.
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.
