Overall, the school enrolled 549 students in 2024-25, with Asian students representing 1% of the total, making them the smallest demographic group at the school.
The elementary school is part of the Chickamauga City School District, with the district’s central office based in Chickamauga.

The National Center for Education Statistics reports that, statewide, public school enrollment in Georgia was 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.
Post-pandemic, chronic absenteeism continues to be a challenge in Georgia, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In answer to this, GaDOE has initiated statewide measures such as introducing a real-time attendance dashboard, launching a public awareness campaign, and providing support focused on districts identified as having the greatest needs to improve attendance.
For 2025, legislators in Georgia approved an update to attendance regulations, prohibiting expulsions solely for absenteeism. The revision establishes new requirements around reporting and is coordinated with efforts that enable students to graduate through alternative educational pathways.
By 2026, Georgia’s student-to-teacher ratio stood at approximately 14:1, better than the national ratio, which is 15:1.
