There were 6,642 seventh grade students enrolled in Henry County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 2.7% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Locust Grove Middle School welcomed the largest number of seventh grade students among county schools, registering 789 students during the 2022-23 school year.

Within Henry County schools, the highest student count was found in 10th grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in kindergarten.

Statewide, Henry County ranked seventh in enrollment numbers, with a total of 85,926 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked seventh 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.
