Cooper Middle School counted 50 multiracial students in the 2024-25 school year, reflecting a 19% increase from the prior year. This is based on data from the Georgia Department of Education.
The school’s total enrollment reached 1,019 students for the 2024-25 school year. Multiracial students accounted for 5% of all students, making them the third-largest demographic at Cooper Middle.
Situated in Cobb County School District, the school operates under the central office based in Marietta.
Within Cobb County School District’s 110 schools, Campbell High School reported the largest multiracial enrollment in 2024-25, with 149 students.
The Georgia public school system enrolled more than 1.7 million students, as outlined in the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Enrollment numbers were highest in elementary with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by middle schools with 388,733 students (22.7%), and high schools with 539,092 students (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism has persisted across Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, GaDOE introduced a statewide plan featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness efforts, and targeted support to improve attendance rates in high-need districts.
In 2025, state lawmakers adopted a bill amending school attendance regulations to prohibit expulsions based solely on absenteeism. The legislation also establishes additional reporting requirements and aligns with programs assisting students to complete diplomas through alternative routes.
By 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which is below the national ratio of 15:1.
