Total enrollment at Osborne High School reached 2,700 students in 2024-25. Hispanic students accounted for 67% of the overall student population, making up the majority at the school.
The school is part of Cobb County School District, with central administration based in Marietta.

Over 1.7 million students attended Georgia’s public schools, as detailed in the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Elementary grades had the most students at 787,206 (45.9%), followed by 388,733 in middle schools (22.7%) and 539,092 in high schools (31.4%).
Following the pandemic, chronic absenteeism remains a significant challenge for Georgia schools. In 2024, 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of the school days, per the Georgia Department of Education. To address the challenge, GaDOE started a statewide initiative that features a live attendance dashboard, a public awareness effort, and additional support for districts with higher needs to improve daily attendance.
In 2025, state lawmakers enacted a law updating school attendance rules to prohibit expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The new law also introduces further reporting mandates and supports programs offering alternative pathways for students to earn their diplomas.
By 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-teacher ratio of about 14:1, compared to the national average of 15:1.
