There were 4,616 white students enrolled in Murray County School District schools in the 2022-23 school year, 0.8% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Data showed that Murray County School District welcomed 6,502 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, white students comprised 71% of the student body to be the most represented ethnicity in the district.

Among the 11 schools in Murray County School District, North Murray High School recorded the highest enrollment of white students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 712 students.

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.
