For the 2024-25 school year, Winder-Barrow High School maintained an enrollment of 91 multiracial students, the same count as the prior year, reports from the Georgia Department of Education indicate.

Total enrollment at Winder-Barrow High School reached 1,825 during the 2024-25 school year. Multiracial students accounted for 5% of all students, making them the smallest demographic at the school.

The school is part of the Barrow County School District, which is headquartered in Winder.

Among all 16 schools within the district, Apalachee High School saw the most multiracial student enrollment in the 2024-25 school year, totaling 95 students.

The National Center for Education Statistics reports that public school students in Georgia during this period were roughly 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.

After the pandemic, chronic absenteeism has continued to challenge Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, GaDOE launched a statewide campaign, which includes a real-time attendance dashboard, awareness efforts, and focused support programs targeting high-need areas to improve attendance rates.

Legislation passed by Georgia legislators in 2025 updated school attendance policy by prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism, creating new reporting rules, and introducing flexibility for students to earn diplomas through alternative pathways.

As of 2026, Georgia’s overall student-to-teacher ratio stood at about 14:1, outperforming the national average ratio of 15:1.
