There were 19 Asian students enrolled at Crisp County High School in the 2024-25 school year, a decrease of 5% from the prior year, based on data reported by the Georgia Department of Education.

According to the data, the high school reported total enrollment of 965 students in the 2024-25 school year. Asian students represented 2% of all enrolled students, giving them the smallest share among student groups at the school.

Located within the Crisp County School District, the school’s main administrative office is based in Cordele.

Crisp County Primary School and Crisp County High School each had 19 Asian students enrolled in the 2024-25 school year, marking the highest Asian student enrollment within the district’s four schools.

The Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report stated that more than 1.7 million students were enrolled in Georgia public schools, with 787,206 in elementary schools (45.9%), 388,733 in middle schools (22.7%), and 539,092 in high schools (31.4%).

Chronic absenteeism remains a concern in Georgia since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this challenge, GaDOE initiated a statewide program featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a statewide awareness campaign, and additional support for districts with higher needs to encourage regular attendance.

In 2025, Georgia legislators approved an update to school attendance laws that prohibits expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The measure also includes new reporting standards and aligns with alternative diploma completion options for students.

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