There were 336 multiracial students enrolled in Oconee County school district in the 2022-23 school year, 0.9% more than the previous year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

Data showed that Oconee County school district welcomed 8,422 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 4% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicity in the county's school district.

This is the only school district located within Oconee County, with its main office in Watkinsville.

While enrollment in Georgia inches closer to pre-pandemic levels, chronic absenteeism remains a serious challenge. In 2023, a significant portion of students (23%) missed 10% or more of their classes. Although this is slightly better than the peak of 25% in 2022, it's still nearly double the pre-pandemic rate of 13% recorded in 2019.
