The proportion of white students attending Bibb County public schools has dropped by more than 40 percent over the last 20 years. At the same time, the population of black students has held relatively steady. When the state released its fall 2016 school enrollment data last month, the Bibb County numbers showed total enrollment of 23,988, with 17,354 of the students identified as black and 4,483 as white. That stands in contrast to 20 years ago, when Bibb’s school enrollment was 24,840, with 16,680 students identified as black and 7,829 as white. The racial distribution among the schools has also changed. Central High School, for example, had a racial breakdown of 58.5 percent black and 41.4 white in 1996. Today, that number stands at 92.6 percent black and 7.3 percent white..
