In the 2024-25 school year, Northeast High School reported an enrollment of 15 Hispanic students, representing a 114.3% increase compared to the prior year, based on data from the Georgia Department of Education.
Overall, Northeast High School had a total enrollment of 782 students for the 2024-25 school year. Among those, Hispanic students constituted 2% of the population, placing them among the school’s smallest demographic groups.
The campus operates within the Bibb County School District, which has its main office in Macon.
Out of 34 schools in the Bibb County School District, Porter Elementary School reported the largest number of Hispanic students in the 2024-25 school year, enrolling 155.
More than 1.7 million students were enrolled in Georgia’s public schools, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. The highest enrollment was seen at the elementary level, with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 in middle schools (22.7%), and 539,092 in high schools (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, as 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, the GaDOE began a statewide initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted assistance for districts most in need.
Georgia legislators passed a law in 2025 updating school attendance rules, now prohibiting expulsions solely due to absenteeism. The statute also introduces new reporting guidelines and supports programs allowing students to earn diplomas through alternative means. More information is available at this link.
As of 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 14:1, which outperformed the national average of 15:1.
