Total enrollment at Nickajack Elementary School reached 1,250 students for 2024-25. Multiracial students represented 8% of the student body, ranking as the second-smallest group in the school.
This school is part of the Cobb County School District, which is based in Marietta.

Georgia’s public school system enrolled over 1.7 million students in total, as presented in the Fiscal Year 2026-1 report by the Georgia Department of Education. Most attendance was in elementary grades with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 in middle school (22.7%), and 539,092 in high school (31.4%).
The Georgia Department of Education reported that chronic absenteeism has persisted since the pandemic, noting 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of their school days in 2024. To address this, GaDOE introduced a statewide program featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public outreach campaign, and targeted assistance for high-need districts.
Legislation passed by Georgia lawmakers in 2025 modified school attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion based exclusively on absenteeism. The law also requires new reporting protocols and supports students pursuing diplomas with alternate options.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-teacher ratio was about 14:1, a figure more favorable than the national average of 15:1.
Note: Due to potential gaps in the available data, reported percentages may not total exactly 100%.
