There were 118 Hispanic students enrolled in Montgomery County school in the 2022-23 school year, 15.7% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Data showed that Montgomery County welcomed 786 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Hispanic students comprised 15% of the student body to be the third most represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the three schools in Montgomery County, Montgomery County Elementary School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 57 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.
