St. Simons Elementary had a total student enrollment of 442 in the 2024-25 school year. Multiracial students comprised 5% of the enrollment, positioning them as the second-smallest demographic group at the school.
This school is part of the Glynn County School District, with the district office based in Brunswick.

More than 1.7 million students attended Georgia’s public schools, based on the Georgia Department of Education Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. The elementary grades had the highest enrollment at 787,206 students (45.9%), while middle schools had 388,733 students (22.7%), and high schools recorded 539,092 students (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism remains a significant concern in Georgia after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, per the Georgia Department of Education. The Georgia Department of Education introduced a statewide effort that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, increased public awareness, and focused support for districts with high needs to improve day-to-day attendance.
In 2025, state lawmakers revised Georgia’s school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely because of absenteeism. The revisions add new data reporting requirements and align with programs aimed at supporting diploma completion through alternative options.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, which is better than the nationwide average of 15:1.
