During the 2024-25 academic year, Pope High School reported enrollment of 88 multiracial students—an increase of 2.3% compared with the prior year—according to the Georgia Department of Education.
The school recorded a total enrollment of 1,774 students in the same period. Multiracial students accounted for 5% of the entire student population, representing the school’s smallest demographic group.
Pope High School is situated within Cobb County School District, whose central office is in Marietta.
Out of 110 schools in the Cobb County School District, Campbell High School saw the largest population of multiracial students in 2024-25, enrolling 149.
Georgia public schools served more than 1.7 million students, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Most students were in elementary grades with 787,206 enrolled (45.9%), followed by 388,733 in middle school (22.7%), and 539,092 in high school (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism has continued to be a significant concern in the state after the pandemic; 20.7% of Georgia students missed 10% or more of school days in 2024, Georgia Department of Education figures confirmed. To address the issue, the state agency rolled out a new initiative focusing on a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness effort, and specific supports for high-need districts.
In 2025, Georgia legislators passed policy revisions concerning attendance—preventing expulsions solely due to absences, introducing additional reporting guidelines, and updating rules to aid students seeking diplomas through alternative pathways.
By 2026, Georgia’s public schools had reached an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which is lower than the national ratio of 15:1.
Note: Due to potential gaps in the available data, reported percentages may not total exactly 100%.
