There were 9,501 fifth grade students enrolled in Clayton County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 5.3% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Georgia Cyber Academy welcomed the largest number of fifth grade students among county schools, registering 1,533 students during the 2022-23 school year.

Within Clayton County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in 12th grade.

Statewide, Clayton County ranked fifth in enrollment numbers, with a total of 122,922 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked fifth 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.
