Tift County High School had the highest enrollment among Tift County schools, welcoming 2,195 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

Among the 11 schools in Tift County, Eighth Street Middle School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 958 students, while Northeast Middle School welcomed 713 students to be ranked third in the 2022-23 school 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.
