Midland Academy saw an enrollment of 38 Asian students for the 2024-25 school year, reflecting an 11.6% decline from the prior year, reports the Georgia Department of Education.

According to the data, Midland Academy’s total enrollment reached 551 students in 2024-25. Of these, Asian students comprised 7% of the population, representing the smallest demographic group in the school.

The school operates under the Muscogee County School District, which has its central office based in Columbus.

Within the 51 schools in Muscogee County School District, Columbus High School had the largest Asian student enrollment in 2024-25, with 183 students.

More than 1.7 million students attended Georgia’s public schools, as shown in the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. The largest enrollment occurred in elementary grades with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by middle school with 388,733 students (22.7%), and high school with 539,092 students (31.4%).

Chronic absenteeism remains a persistent concern in Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. To address this, GaDOE began a statewide effort that features a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and added support for high-need districts aiming to improve daily attendance.

In 2025, Georgia legislators updated attendance laws to prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The changes introduce additional reporting obligations and coordinate with programs providing students with alternate diploma pathways.

For 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 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%.
