Morrow High School had 40 multiracial students enrolled for the 2024-25 school year, reflecting a 5.3% increase from the prior year, reports the Georgia Department of Education.

Total enrollment at Morrow High School reached 2,020 students in the 2024-25 school year. Of those, multiracial students comprised 2% of the student population, making them the school’s second-smallest demographic.

The campus is part of Clayton County School District, which is based in Jonesboro.

Georgia’s public school enrollment topped 1.7 million students, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. The majority attended elementary school at 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by middle school with 388,733 students (22.7%), and high school with 539,092 students (31.4%).

The Georgia Department of Education reports that chronic absenteeism continues to challenge schools statewide, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024. The department has launched a statewide initiative, which includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and additional support for districts with high needs to enhance daily attendance.

In 2025, state legislators approved changes to school attendance policy, prohibiting expulsion for absences alone. The updated law requires additional reporting and coordinates with programs allowing students to earn diplomas through alternative routes.

By 2026, the state of Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, outperforming the national ratio of 15:1.
