Big A Elementary School was the only school in the county to welcome kindergarten students during the 2022-23 school year.
Within Stephens County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in 12th grade.

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.
