There were 29 Asian students enrolled in Upson County school in the 2022-23 school year, 3.6% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Data showed that Upson County welcomed 3,918 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised less than 0.1% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the four schools in Upson County, Upson-Lee High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 11 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.
