Georgia’s public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students, according to the Fiscal Year 2026-1 report from the Georgia Department of Education. The majority were in elementary grades 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 continues to be a significant concern in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, based on Georgia Department of Education data. The department responded by launching a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted assistance for districts with higher needs to encourage attendance.
In 2025, Georgia lawmakers approved updates to school attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The updated law also introduces new reporting obligations and supports programs that let students earn diplomas through alternative approaches.
By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which is lower than the national average of 15:1.
