Georgia’s public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Elementary grades posted the highest enrollment totals at 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by middle schools with 388,733 students (22.7%) and high schools with 539,092 students (31.4%).
After the pandemic, chronic absenteeism continues to be a concern in Georgia, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education found. To address this, GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, an awareness campaign, and targeted assistance for the districts most in need, aiming to raise daily attendance levels.
In 2025, Georgia legislators updated attendance laws to prohibit expulsions solely due to absenteeism. The new law also increases reporting requirements and aligns with efforts to provide alternate pathways for students to complete diplomas.
By 2026, Georgia recorded an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, outperforming the national average of 15:1.
