For the 2024-25 school year, Hillgrove High School reported enrolling 113 multiracial students, matching the total from the prior year, figures from the Georgia Department of Education indicate.

According to the data, Hillgrove High School’s overall enrollment stood at 2,263 students in the 2024-25 school year. Multiracial students made up 5% of the campus population and represented the second-smallest demographic group in the school.

The campus is part of the Cobb County School District, headquartered in Marietta.

Out of Cobb County School District’s 110 schools, Campbell High School had the largest multiracial student population in the 2024-25 school year with 149 students.

Georgia public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students, according to the Fiscal Year 2026-1 report from the Georgia Department of Education. Elementary grades had the highest share with 787,206 students (45.9%), while middle school enrollment was 388,733 (22.7%), and high school enrollment reached 539,092 (31.4%).

Chronic absenteeism persists as a significant concern for Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more days in 2024, Georgia Department of Education reports. To address the issue, GaDOE introduced a statewide approach with a live attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted aid for districts with higher needs to raise attendance rates.

Legislation passed by Georgia lawmakers in 2025 revised school attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion based only on absenteeism. The law includes updated reporting requirements and aligns with programs that assist students in earning a diploma through alternative tracks.

By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1. This is lower than the national average of 15:1.
