The reported student–teacher ratio is 13.3:1, close to the Georgia median of 13.4:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Black (88.1%) and Hispanic or Latino (7.8%). English learners represent 0.8% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 8.9%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
