The school’s total enrollment stood at 1,409 students for the 2024-25 school year. Multiracial students accounted for 1% of this population, making them one of the smallest groups on campus.
Clarkston High School operates within the DeKalb County School District, which is headquartered in Decatur.

Georgia’s public school enrollment surpassed 1.7 million students, according to the Fiscal Year 2026-1 report from the Georgia Department of Education. Elementary grades constituted the largest portion with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 in middle school (22.7%) and 539,092 in high school (31.4%).
Following the pandemic, chronic absenteeism has persisted as a significant challenge in Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education found. The state agency deployed a comprehensive initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, public outreach, and support for high-need districts to improve attendance rates.
In 2025, Georgia legislators enacted updated attendance laws prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The new statute also introduces enhanced reporting demands and coordinates with existing programs offering alternative diploma pathways.
For 2026, Georgia held a student-to-teacher ratio of around 14:1, outperforming the national 15:1 average.
