There were 439 third grade students enrolled in Elbert County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 0.9% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Elbert County Elementary School was the only school in the county to welcome third grade students during the 2022-23 school year.

Within Elbert County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in 12th grade.

Statewide, Elbert County ranked 90th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 5,837 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was ranked 93rd the year before.

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.
