Nine multiracial students enrolled at Crawford County Elementary School for the 2024-25 school year, a 43.8% drop from the prior year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

Total enrollment at Crawford County Elementary School reached 315 students for 2024-25. Multiracial students accounted for 3% of the student population, representing the smallest demographic group at the school.

Crawford County Elementary is a part of the Crawford County School District, with the district’s main office based in Roberta.

Georgia public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students, the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report shows. The highest enrollment was in elementary grades at 787,206 (45.9%), followed by 388,733 middle school students (22.7%) and 539,092 high school students (31.4%).

Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to state data. The GaDOE has responded with a statewide campaign that features a real-time attendance dashboard, an awareness initiative, and targeted support for districts most in need to improve daily attendance.

In 2025, state legislators approved a measure revising attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion solely on absenteeism. The legislation also requires new reporting and aligns with alternative diploma programs to support students earning graduation credits through different opportunities.

By 2026, Georgia had an average student-teacher ratio near 14:1, which compares favorably to the national average of 15:1.
