In the 2024-25 school year, Oak Grove Elementary School maintained an enrollment of 30 multiracial students, the same number as the prior year, based on reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Enrollment figures indicated Oak Grove Elementary School had a total of 429 students for 2024-25. Multiracial students represented 7% of the population, making them the smallest demographic group at the school.

Located within the Fayette County School District, the school is administered out of a central office in Fayetteville.

Across Fayette County School District’s 24 schools, McIntosh High School reported the highest number of multiracial students, enrolling 105 in the 2024-25 school year.

Based on information from the National Center for Education Statistics, public school students in Georgia were approximately 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 problem in Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more days of instruction in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, the department launched a statewide initiative with a real-time attendance dashboard, a public information campaign, and support for districts with higher needs to improve daily attendance.

Legislation passed by Georgia lawmakers in 2025 updated school attendance rules by prohibiting expulsion only for absenteeism. The new law introduces additional reporting and aligns with alternative diploma programs.

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