There were 26 Asian students enrolled in Murray County school in the 2022-23 school year, 23.8% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Data showed that Murray County welcomed 6,483 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised less than 0.1% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 11 schools in Murray County, Murray County High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 10 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.
