There were 6,502 students in the halls of Murray County Schools, 0.6% more than the year before.
Enrollment in Murray County bucked the state's trend compared to the state's trend of decreasing enrollment.
Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51% of them were male, and 49% were female.

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.
