The Georgia Department of Education reported that Pitner Elementary School maintained its enrollment of 31 Asian students for the 2024-25 school year, consistent with the figure from the prior year.
According to the data, Pitner Elementary School’s total enrollment stood at 779 students for 2024-25. Asian students accounted for 4% of the student body, making them the school’s smallest demographic group.
Pitner Elementary operates within Cobb County School District, whose headquarters are in Marietta.

The National Center for Education Statistics indicates the racial and ethnic breakdown of public K-12 students in Georgia included about 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander.
The Georgia Department of Education reports that chronic absenteeism continues to challenge state schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of days in 2024. As a response, GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative that now incorporates a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness initiatives, and targeted help for high-need districts to improve daily student attendance.
Georgia lawmakers approved an update to school attendance statutes in 2025, prohibiting expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The bill further expands reporting requirements and supports alternative diploma-earning pathways for students.
As of 2026, the typical student-to-teacher ratio in Georgia was about 14:1, surpassing the national average of 15:1.
