The free-lunch share is 8% below the Georgia average and 8% above the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 376 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 35.4% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Henry County spends $13,123 per pupil district-wide, below the Georgia average of $15,679 and below the national average of $19,490.
