For the 2024-25 school year, Winder-Barrow High School reported an enrollment of 109 Asian students—an increase of 19.8% compared to the prior year, Georgia Department of Education data shows.
The data indicates Winder-Barrow High School’s total enrollment reached 1,825 students for 2024-25. Asians comprised 6% of the student population, making them the second-smallest racial group present.
Located in the Barrow County School District, the school has its district central office based in Winder.
Out of Barrow County School District’s 16 schools, Winder-Barrow High School recorded the largest Asian student enrollment this year, totaling 109 students.
The National Center for Education Statistics reported that Georgia public school students, by racial and ethnic breakdown, consisted of 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.
Post-pandemic, chronic absenteeism continues to affect many Georgia schools. Reports from the Georgia Department of Education indicated that 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days in 2024. In response, the department rolled out a statewide initiative with a real-time attendance dashboard, a state awareness campaign, and extra support for districts with the highest needs to improve regular attendance.
During 2025, a new law approved by Georgia lawmakers altered school attendance rules, newly prohibiting expulsions based solely on absenteeism. This law also introduced revised tracking and expands routes for students to earn diplomas through alternate programs.
As of 2026, schools in Georgia averaged a student-teacher ratio of about 14:1, better than the national average of 15:1, according to Public School Review and national data.
