The National Center for Education Statistics reports that the racial and ethnic composition of public school students in Georgia was about 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander.
Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant concern in Georgia’s public schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more days in 2024, as reported by the Georgia Department of Education. In response, the department initiated a statewide campaign that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, an awareness push, and specialized support for districts needing more help to improve student attendance.
In 2025, Georgia lawmakers revised school attendance policies so that students can no longer be expelled solely because of absenteeism. The updated law introduces new data reporting steps and connects to programs that offer alternative diploma completion options.
As of 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was around 14:1, which is lower than the national average of 15:1.
