In the 2024-25 school year, there were 88 Asian students enrolled at Druid Hills Middle School, a 4.8% increase from the prior year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.
Records indicate the school had a total of 988 students during the same period, with Asian students accounting for 9% of the student population—ranking as the third smallest demographic group enrolled.
The school operates within the DeKalb County School District, headquartered in Decatur.
Out of DeKalb County School District’s 129 campuses, Indian Creek Elementary School posted the largest enrollment of Asian students in the 2024-25 school year, which totaled 442.
The National Center for Education Statistics notes the racial and ethnic mix of Georgia’s public school students included 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander.
According to the Georgia Department of Education, 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days in 2024 as chronic absenteeism persisted after the pandemic. GaDOE responded with new efforts through a real-time attendance dashboard, an awareness drive, and focused assistance for high-need districts in order to encourage more consistent attendance.
In 2025, legislators in Georgia passed an update to school attendance laws prohibiting expulsions based solely on absenteeism. The legislation created additional reporting standards and connects with programs designed to help students graduate using alternative routes.
As of 2026, the student-to-teacher ratio in Georgia was about 14:1, which was slightly ahead of the national average of 15:1.
