Data showed that Union County welcomed 2,813 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Black students comprised less than 0.1% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the five schools in Union County, Union County Middle School was the only school enrolling Black students in the 2022-23 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.
