In the 2024-25 school year, 102 Asian students were enrolled at Sprayberry High School, which is a 16.4% decrease from the prior year, data from the Georgia Department of Education shows.

Total enrollment at Sprayberry High School reached 1,706 for the 2024-25 school year. Asian students comprised 6% of enrolled students, making this the second-smallest ethnic demographic at the school.

The school belongs to the Cobb County School District and is located in Marietta.

Of the 110 schools in Cobb County School District, Walton High School had the largest population of Asian students in the 2024-25 school year, enrolling 646.

According to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report, Georgia public schools reported enrollment exceeding 1.7 million students. The most enrollment occurred at the elementary level with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 middle school students (22.7%), and 539,092 high school students (31.4%).

Chronic absenteeism continues to be a concern in Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to state education officials. The Georgia Department of Education has responded with a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness efforts, and direct support for districts considered high-need.

In 2025, state lawmakers updated school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The legislation introduced additional reporting requirements and supports alternatives to help students graduate.

By 2026, Georgia maintained a student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, an improvement compared to the national average of 15:1.
