There were 2,590 third grade students enrolled in Newton County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 1% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Flint Hill Elementary School welcomed the largest number of third grade students among county schools, registering 293 students during the 2022-23 school year.

Within Newton County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in kindergarten.

Statewide, Newton County ranked 23rd in enrollment numbers, with a total of 35,984 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked 23rd 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.
