Monroe Elementary School reported enrolling 17 Asian students for the 2024-25 school year, reflecting a 15% decrease from the prior year, based on data from the Georgia Department of Education.
The data indicated a total enrollment of 575 students at Monroe Elementary for 2024-25. Asian students comprised 3% of the population, making them the second-smallest demographic group in the school.
The school is part of Walton County School District, with district offices centrally located in Monroe.
Out of the 15 schools in the Walton County School District, Loganville High School had the most Asian students in 2024-25, with 56 enrolled.
Figures from the National Center for Education Statistics show Georgia’s public schools had a student demographic breakdown of about 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander.
Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more days of school in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, the GaDOE began a statewide initiative that features a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness effort, and targeted aid for districts needing the most support to improve daily attendance.
Georgia lawmakers approved legislation in 2025 to update school attendance policies, prohibiting expulsion solely for chronic absenteeism. The statute also introduced additional reporting requirements and was designed to align with alternative diploma pathways for students.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, outpacing the national figure of 15:1.
