Union Grove Middle School maintained an enrollment of 62 Asian students for the 2024-25 school year, consistent with the prior year, data from the Georgia Department of Education show.

According to the data, total enrollment at Union Grove Middle School stood at 1,036 students during the 2024-25 school year. Asian students accounted for 6% of the student population, making them the second-smallest demographic represented at the school.

The school is part of Henry County School District, with the district’s central office located in McDonough.

Dutchtown High School had the largest enrollment of Asian students in Henry County School District for the 2024-25 school year, reporting 123 Asian students among the district’s 50 schools.

National Center for Education Statistics data indicates that the racial and ethnic breakdown of Georgia public school students is approximately 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% identifying as multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander.

Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, as reported by the Georgia Department of Education. In response, the Georgia Department of Education implemented a statewide plan that includes a new real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness outreach, and targeted resources for districts most affected, all aimed at improving daily attendance figures.

Legislation passed by Georgia lawmakers in 2025 revised school attendance laws to prohibit expulsions solely due to absenteeism. The updates introduce additional reporting obligations and align with initiatives that offer alternative diploma tracks for students.

By 2026, Georgia maintained a student-to-teacher ratio near 14:1, improving upon the national average ratio of 15:1.
