Total enrollment at Rehoboth Road Middle School reached 516 students in 2024-25. African American students accounted for 44% of the overall student population, making them the largest demographic group at the school.

Georgia’s public schools served more than 1.7 million students per a Fiscal Year 2026-1 report from the Georgia Department of Education. Elementary grades had the most students with 787,206 (45.9%), while middle school had 388,733 (22.7%), and high school students totaled 539,092 (31.4%).

Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant problem after the pandemic, as 20.7% of Georgia students missed 10% or more school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. In response, GaDOE began a statewide campaign that introduced a real-time attendance dashboard, public outreach, and enhanced assistance for districts with high absentee rates to improve daily attendance.

In 2025, the state legislature amended school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The changes include new reporting rules and coordinate with options enabling students to earn diplomas through alternative routes.

As of 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio stood at approximately 14:1, which is lower than the national average of 15:1.
