There were 10,628 students enrolled in Bulloch County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 0.3% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Boys made up 50.4% of the county's student body, while the other 49.6% were girls.

Data also showed that white students made up 48.3% of the student body, the largest percentage in Bulloch County schools, followed by African American students with 37.3%, 7.6% Hispanic students, 4.5% multiracial students, 1.6% Asian students and 0.1% American Indian or Alaska Native students.

Statesboro High School stood out with the highest enrollment among Bulloch County's 16 schools in the 2022-23 cycle, welcoming 1,669 students.

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.
