More than 1.7 million students were enrolled in Georgia’s public schools, the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report noted. Elementary grades had the highest share, with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 in middle school (22.7%), and 539,092 in high school (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism remains a significant concern in Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, the Department launched a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, awareness campaigns, and targeted district support to raise daily attendance.
Georgia lawmakers in 2025 approved legislation updating school attendance guidelines to prevent expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The new law also introduces additional reporting requirements and supports alternative paths for diploma attainment.
As of 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio close to 14:1, outperforming the national average of 15:1.
