The total student body at Liberty Elementary reached 699 for the 2024-25 school year. White students comprised 40% of that enrollment, making them one of the predominant groups on campus.

Chronic absenteeism has continued to be a significant challenge in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of instructional days in 2024, according to state education data. To address this, the Georgia Department of Education introduced a statewide effort featuring a real-time attendance tracking dashboard, awareness campaigns, and targeted supports for districts requiring additional assistance to improve attendance rates.

In 2025, state lawmakers enacted an update to the school attendance laws restricting expulsion as a consequence for absenteeism alone. The legislation also added additional reporting protocols and aims to support increased diploma attainment through alternative education options.

By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 14:1, which is an improvement compared to the national average of 15:1.

Note: Due to potential gaps in the available data, reported percentages may not total exactly 100%.
