The majority of students in Dade County School District were white in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

Among the 1,926 students attending Dade County schools, 92% were white. Hispanic students were the second most common ethnicity, making up 3% of Dade County student body.

In the previous school year, white students were also the most common ethnicity in Dade County School District, representing 92% of the student body.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in school districts in the county increased 0.1% when compared to the previous year.

Dade County School District, the only school district in the county, has a main office in Trenton.

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.
