There were nine Asian students enrolled in Turner County school in the 2022-23 school year, 28.6% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Data showed that Turner County welcomed 1,093 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 three schools in Turner County, Turner County Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of five 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.
