Georgia’s public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report.

Data from the Georgia Department of Education indicates that chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant concern after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024. To address this, GaDOE implemented a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and additional resources for districts with the greatest needs.
In 2025, legislators updated Georgia’s attendance laws to prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The new rules also require additional reporting and support alternative diploma-earning programs.
By 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, outperforming the national average of 15:1.
