Statham Elementary School reported enrolling 56 multiracial students for the 2024-25 school year, which reflects a 1.8% decrease compared with the prior year, data from the Georgia Department of Education shows.
According to the data, 709 students attended Statham Elementary School in 2024-25, with multiracial students comprising 8% of the enrollment, ranking as the second-smallest group within the school.
This school is part of the Barrow County School District, headquartered in Winder.

Georgia’s public school enrollment surpassed 1.7 million students according to data in the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Elementary school grades made up the largest share with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 students in middle schools (22.7%), and 539,092 students in high schools (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to impact 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 introduced a statewide campaign involving a real-time attendance dashboard, broader public awareness, and targeted aid to high-need districts to encourage better attendance.
In 2025, state lawmakers updated school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion based only on absenteeism. The legislation brings new reporting guidelines and supports initiatives enabling students to complete diploma requirements through alternative routes.
By 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, outpacing the national average of 15:1.
