Midland Academy reported 77 Hispanic students enrolled for the 2024-25 school year, marking a decrease of 4.9% compared to the prior year, as outlined by the Georgia Department of Education.

The school’s total enrollment stood at 551 students in 2024-25. Hispanic students accounted for 14% of enrolled students, ranking as the third-largest population in the school.

Located in the Muscogee County School District, Midland Academy’s district office is based in Columbus.

Statewide public school enrollment in Georgia exceeded 1.7 million students, per the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 figures. Elementary schools reported the largest enrollment with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by middle schools at 388,733 (22.7%) and high schools at 539,092 (31.4%).

Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to data from the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, the department launched a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, public outreach efforts, and increased support for districts with greater needs to improve daily attendance.

In 2025, the Georgia General Assembly updated attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely due to absenteeism. Additional requirements for reporting and new programs supporting students pursuing diplomas through alternative routes were also introduced.

By 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio close to 14:1, which is below the national average of 15:1.

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