For the 2024-25 school year, Tucker High School enrolled 48 multiracial students, an increase of 6.7% from the prior year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

Total enrollment at Tucker High School reached 1,609 students during the 2024-25 school year. Multiracial students represented 3% of the student population, making up the smallest group at the school.

The school is part of DeKalb County School District, headquartered in Decatur.

Out of 129 schools in DeKalb County School District, GLOBE Academy Charter School I had the highest number of multiracial students enrolled for the 2024-25 school year at 97.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, Georgia’s public schools had a student racial and ethnic makeup of about 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.

Chronic absenteeism continues to be a challenge in Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. In response, GaDOE has initiated a statewide effort that features a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness push, and targeted support for districts with high needs to improve attendance rates.

In 2025, Georgia legislators approved a law revising school attendance requirements so that students cannot be expelled solely for absenteeism. The measure also introduces new reporting guidelines and aligns with alternative diploma pathways for students.

As of 2026, the average student-to-teacher ratio in Georgia stood at about 14:1, which is lower than the national average of 15:1.
