There were 3,720 second grade students enrolled in Bibb County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 0.9% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Academy for Classical Education welcomed the largest number of second grade students among county schools, registering 293 students during the 2022-23 school year.

Within Bibb County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in 12th grade.

Statewide, Bibb County ranked 18th in enrollment numbers, with a total of 45,514 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 18th the year before.

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.
