A total of 41 Asian students attended Comer Elementary School in the 2024-25 school year, 4.7% fewer compared to the prior year, reports the Georgia Department of Education.
Total enrollment at Comer Elementary School in 2024-25 stood at 415 students. Data indicated Asian students represented 10% of the overall student body, ranking as the school’s third-largest demographic group.
The school operates within the Madison County School District, which is administratively centered in Danielsville.
Out of the seven schools in the Madison County School District, Madison County High School had the largest number of Asian students in 2024-25 with 45 enrolled.
Georgia’s public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. The greatest enrollment occurred at the elementary level, totaling 787,206 students (45.9%). Middle school registered 388,733 students (22.7%), while high school enrollment was 539,092 (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to pose a significant challenge in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students classified as chronically absent—those missing 10% or more school days—in 2024, per the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, GaDOE has started a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and focused support for districts with the highest needs to improve attendance rates.
In 2025, state legislators approved a bill revising school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The legislation also imposes new reporting duties and synchronizes with existing programs allowing students to earn diplomas through different pathways.
By 2026, the average Georgia student-to-teacher ratio was around 14:1, a figure ahead of the national average of 15:1.
