The Georgia Department of Education reported that Coile Middle School enrolled 17 multiracial students for the 2024-25 school year, the same number as the prior year.
According to data, overall enrollment at Coile Middle School reached 583 students for 2024-25. Multiracial students represented 3% of total enrollment, making up the school’s smallest demographic group.
Coile Middle School is part of the Clarke County School District, which is headquartered in Athens.
Out of 21 schools in the Clarke County School District, Clarke Central High School had the largest number of multiracial students enrolled in 2024-25, totaling 93.
The National Center for Education Statistics reported that Georgia’s public school population was made up of about 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander students.
Chronic absenteeism continues to be a key issue for Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, GaDOE launched a statewide initiative including a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness drive, and targeted support for high-need districts to improve daily attendance rates.
Georgia enacted a law in 2025 updating school attendance rules to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. It also imposes new reporting mandates and coordinates with alternative diploma programs.
As of 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio stood at approximately 14:1, which remains better than the U.S. average of 15:1.
