Georgia’s public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 statistics. The highest portion were elementary students, totaling 787,206 (45.9%), with middle grades at 388,733 (22.7%) and high school enrollment at 539,092 (31.4%).

Chronic absenteeism continues to impact Georgia’s students after the pandemic, with 20.7% missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, as reported by the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, the department began a statewide program that offers a real-time attendance dashboard, promotes public awareness, and delivers focused support to high-need districts to improve daily attendance rates.

During 2025, state legislators approved new rules updating school attendance regulations to prohibit expulsion for absenteeism alone. The updated statute also includes new data reporting obligations and aligns with programs helping students finish diplomas through alternative methods.

As of 2026, Georgia reported an average student-teacher ratio near 14:1, which outperforms the national rate of 15:1.
