Among the many ethnicities represented in Camden County schools, white was the most prevalent among Camden County students in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

Of the 9,172 students attending Camden County schools, 58% were white. African American students were the second most common ethnicity, making up 20.4% of Camden County student body.

In the previous school year, white students were also the most common group in Camden County, representing 58.5% of the student body.

In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in public schools in the county increased 1.3% when compared to the previous year.

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.
