Records indicated that the total student population at Kennesaw Mountain High School was 1,660 for the 2024-25 school year. Of these, multiracial students made up 6% of the enrollment, making them the smallest demographic group at the school.
The high school is situated in the Cobb County School District, which is headquartered in Marietta.

The National Center for Education Statistics reported that the demographic breakdown of Georgia’s public school students was 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.
Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant concern in Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of instructional days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. In response, the GaDOE initiated a statewide effort featuring a live attendance dashboard, a public campaign, and focused assistance for the highest-need districts to encourage daily attendance.
During 2025, Georgia enacted a bill revising school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The legislation also introduced new data reporting needs and aligns with initiatives allowing students to pursue diplomas through alternate methods.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was approximately 14:1, which is lower than the nationwide average of 15:1.
