East Side Elementary School welcomed the largest number of third grade students among county schools, registering 415 students during the 2022-23 school year.
Within Cobb County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in kindergarten.
Statewide, Cobb County ranked third in enrollment numbers, with a total of 230,525 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked third the year before.
While enrollment in Georgia inches closer to pre-pandemic levels, chronic absenteeism remains a serious challenge. In 2023, a significant portion of students (23%) missed 10% or more of their classes. Although this is slightly better than the peak of 25% in 2022, it's still nearly double the pre-pandemic rate of 13% recorded in 2019.
