There were 422 white students enrolled at Haymon-Morris Middle School in the 2024-25 school year, 3% lower than in the prior year, reports from the Georgia Department of Education show.

Overall, 982 students attended Haymon-Morris Middle School during 2024-25. Of that total, 43% were white, making this group the most populous in the student population.

The school is part of the Barrow County School District, which has its main office based in Winder.

Statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics indicated that among Georgia public school students, the demographic breakdown was 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.

Following the pandemic, chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, per the Georgia Department of Education. The department initiated a series of efforts including a live attendance dashboard, a public information campaign, and specific support for districts with the greatest needs to encourage consistent attendance.

In 2025, state legislators approved updates to Georgia’s school attendance laws that prohibit expulsion based only on absenteeism. The modifications also introduce new reporting obligations and align with initiatives allowing students to pursue alternative diploma routes.

By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which is slightly better than the U.S. average of 15:1.
