In the 2024-25 school year, there were 51 Hispanic students enrolled at Rehoboth Road Middle School—an increase of 2% from the prior year, reports from the Georgia Department of Education indicate.

Figures show total enrollment at Rehoboth Road Middle School reached 516 students in 2024-25. Hispanic students comprised 10% of the student population, which marked them as the second-smallest demographic within the school.

The school operates under the Griffin-Spalding County School District, based in Griffin.

Among the 18 institutions in the Griffin-Spalding County School District, Griffin High School had the highest number of Hispanic students for the 2024-25 year, counting 231 Hispanic enrollees.

The National Center for Education Statistics reported that Georgia public school students consisted of about 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander.

Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant concern in Georgia’s post-pandemic schools, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, GaDOE started a statewide program that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public outreach campaign, and targeted assistance for districts with greater needs to improve attendance.

Legislation passed by Georgia lawmakers in 2025 changed school attendance law, prohibiting expulsions specifically due to absenteeism. The law also introduced additional reporting obligations and supports programs that help students obtain diplomas through alternate paths.

By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, better than the national average of 15:1.
