Northeast High School sees 23 multiracial students enrolled for 2024-25

In the 2024-25 school year, 23 multiracial students attended Northeast High School, representing a 4.5% increase from the prior year, as reported by the Georgia Department of Education.

Total enrollment at Northeast High School reached 782 students for the 2024-25 school year. Of those, multiracial students comprised 3% of the school’s population, ranking as the second-largest demographic group.

The school operates in the Bibb County School District, which has its central office based in Macon.

Within Bibb County School District’s 34 schools, Howard High School had the highest multiracial student enrollment in the 2024-25 school year at 67 students.

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

Chronic absenteeism remains a persistent concern across Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. To address this, GaDOE launched efforts statewide including a real-time attendance dashboard, public education campaigns, and increased support for high-need districts to encourage daily attendance.

In 2025, Georgia legislators updated school attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The revised law adds new data reporting requirements and supports programs for students to earn diplomas through alternative routes.

By 2026, Georgia’s student-to-teacher ratio averaged about 14:1, which is lower than the U.S. average of 15:1.
