Howard High School had the highest enrollment among Bibb County schools, welcoming 1,045 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51% of them were male, and 49% were female.

Data also showed that most of the students were Black, representing 71% of the Howard High School total enrollment.

Among the 34 schools in Bibb County, Howard Middle School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,012 students, while Westside High School welcomed 977 students to be ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Howard High School is part of Bibb County School District, which generally encompasses schools within Bibb County, with its main office in Macon.

In the previous school year, Howard High School also had the highest number of students among Bibb County schools.

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.
