Total student enrollment at Oak Grove Elementary School stood at 429 for 2024-25. White students comprised 48% of the total, making them the school’s largest demographic group.

The Fayette County School District, where the school is located, is based in Fayetteville.

Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of class days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, GaDOE introduced several measures statewide, including a live attendance dashboard, a public awareness initiative, and focused assistance to high-need districts to improve daily student presence.

In 2025, Georgia legislators approved changes to school attendance laws, prohibiting expulsions based solely on absenteeism. The updated law also introduces additional reporting responsibilities and helps expand alternative diploma pathways for students.

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

Note: Due to potential gaps in the available data, reported percentages may not total exactly 100%.
