In the 2024-25 school year, Lassiter High School enrolled 238 Hispanic students—a 3% rise from the prior year—according to the Georgia Department of Education.

The school’s total enrollment stood at 1,988 students for the 2024-25 school year. This made Hispanic students 12% of the student population, ranking as the second-largest demographic in the school.

Lassiter High School is located within Cobb County School District, whose main office is in Marietta.

Of Cobb County School District’s 110 schools, Osborne High School reported the largest number of Hispanic students in the 2024-25 school year, enrolling 1,809.

Data from the National Center for Education Statistics indicated that public school enrollment in Georgia was approximately 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 challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students in 2024 missing at least 10% of school days, as reported by the Georgia Department of Education. The department initiated multiple statewide measures, which include a real-time attendance dashboard, an awareness campaign, and support for higher-need districts to improve attendance rates.

In 2025, state legislators updated Georgia’s school attendance laws, ending expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The new law increases reporting requirements and coordinates with programs assisting students to graduate through alternative options.

By 2026, the average student-to-teacher ratio in Georgia was about 14:1, which is better than the national average of 15:1.
