There were 10 Asian students enrolled in Appling County school in the 2022-23 school year, 28.6% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Data showed that Appling County welcomed 3,258 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 five schools in Appling County, Appling County High School was the only school enrolling Asian students in the 2022-23 school year.

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.
