There were 401 10th grade students enrolled in Jeff Davis County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 7.2% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Jeff Davis High School was the only school in the county during the 2022-23 school year.

Within Jeff Davis County schools, the highest student count was found in second grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in 12th grade.

Statewide, Jeff Davis County ranked 93rd in enrollment numbers, with a total of 5,755 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year. It was ranked 94th 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.
