There were 78 multiracial students enrolled in Pickens County School District schools in the 2022-23 school year, 1.3% less than the previous year, according to reports from the Georgia Department of Education.

Data showed that Pickens County School District welcomed 3,933 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, multiracial students comprised 2% of the student body to be the third most represented ethnicity in the district.

Among the five schools in Pickens County School District, Pickens County High School recorded the highest enrollment of multiracial students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 23 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.
