District-Level NCES Analysis
Montgomery County operates 3 public schools serving 951 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Georgia. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Montgomery County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,683 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 219 Georgia districts by per-pupil spending. See how Georgia compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 32.3% local, 48.2% state, and 19.5% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 72/100, ranked #37 of 216 in Georgia against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 504.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 20.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 47.1% White, 29.7% African American, 15.3% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Montgomery County Middle School, with a diversity index of 68.9/100.
Montgomery County Elementary School accounts for 45.7% of all Montgomery County student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Montgomery County a distant remainder — means Montgomery County-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Montgomery County school enrollment varies 2.1× across entities
Montgomery County school enrollment ranges from 203 students (lowest) to 435 students (highest), a spread of 232 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Montgomery County reports 94.9% free-lunch eligibility
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Montgomery County student-counselor ratio is 505:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Montgomery County chronic absenteeism rate is 20.8% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Montgomery County is typically wider than the Montgomery County-aggregate figure suggests.
Montgomery County has 3 schools, including 1 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 951 students.
