There were 5,289 students in the halls of Harris County School District, 1.3% more than the year before.
Enrollment in Harris County bucked the state's trend compared to the state's trend of decreasing enrollment.
Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 52% of them were male, and 48% were female.
Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 71% of the Harris County School District's total enrollment.
Harris County School District has a main office in Hamilton and is the only school district within Harris County.
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.
