During the 2024-25 school year, 588 white students attended Harris County Carver Middle School, representing a 2.8% decrease compared with the prior year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.
Harris County Carver Middle School’s total enrollment reached 853 students in 2024-25. White students comprised 69% of the overall student population, remaining the largest demographic within the school.
The campus is part of the Harris County School District, which is centrally located in Hamilton.
Of Harris County School District’s seven schools, Harris County High School posted the highest number of white students, with an enrollment of 1,143 during 2024-25.
The Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report indicated public school enrollment exceeded 1.7 million. Most students were enrolled in elementary grades (787,206, or 45.9%), while middle schools had 388,733 (22.7%) and high schools counted 539,092 (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia’s schools; in 2024, 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days. In an effort to address this, the department introduced a statewide initiative aimed at improving daily attendance that includes public awareness, a real-time dashboard, and special support for the most-impacted districts.
Georgia lawmakers updated school attendance statutes in 2025, approving a bill that prohibits expulsion exclusively based on absences and mandates additional reporting on student attendance; it also helps expand opportunities for students to meet graduation requirements through alternative means.

As of 2026, Georgia’s average student-teacher ratio was about 14:1, lower than the national average of 15:1.
