There were 2,934 white students enrolled in Monroe County School District schools in the 2022-23 school year, 3.8% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Data showed that Monroe County School District welcomed 4,315 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 68% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the district.

Among the five schools in Monroe County School District, Mary Persons High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 854 students.

While enrollment in Georgia inches closer to pre-pandemic levels, chronic absenteeism remains a serious challenge. In 2023, a significant portion of students (23%) missed 10% or more of their classes. Although this is slightly better than the peak of 25% in 2022, it's still nearly double the pre-pandemic rate of 13% recorded in 2019.
