There were 21,982 eighth grade students enrolled in Fulton County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 0.4% more than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Willis A. Sutton Middle School welcomed the largest number of eighth grade students among county schools, registering 1,027 students during the 2022-23 school year.

Within Fulton County schools, the highest student count was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in kindergarten.

Statewide, Fulton County ranked second in enrollment numbers, with a total of 271,413 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was also ranked second the year before.

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.
