There were 98 Hispanic students enrolled in Pulaski County school district in the 2022-23 school year, 5.4% more than the previous year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

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.
