In the 2024-25 school year, Timothy Elementary School had 193 white students enrolled, a 2.7% increase over the prior year, the Georgia Department of Education reported.
Total enrollment at Timothy Elementary School reached 509 for 2024-25, with white students representing 38% of all students and standing as one of the school’s largest demographic groups.
The school operates within Clarke County School District, headquartered in Athens.
Clarke Central High School reported the highest number of white students enrolled among the district’s 21 schools in 2024-25, with 483 students.
The Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report states that more than 1.7 million students were enrolled in Georgia public schools. Elementary grades saw the highest enrollment at 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by middle school with 388,733 (22.7%), and high school with 539,092 (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant challenge in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, based on data from the Georgia Department of Education. In response, GaDOE launched a state initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a statewide public campaign, and targeted resources for high-need districts to encourage daily attendance.
In 2025, a bill was passed by Georgia lawmakers updating school attendance statutes to prohibit expulsion exclusively due to absenteeism. The new legislation also mandates added reporting and works with programs designed to support students earning diplomas through alternative methods.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was around 14:1, outperforming the national average of 15:1.
