Georgia’s public schools had more than 1.7 million students enrolled, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Most students attended elementary grades, with 787,206 (45.9%), followed by 388,733 (22.7%) in middle schools, and 539,092 (31.4%) in high schools.
The Georgia Department of Education reported that chronic absenteeism remains a significant challenge following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of their school days in 2024. To address this, GaDOE rolled out a statewide plan featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness outreach, and support aimed at districts with high absentee rates.
In 2025, Georgia legislators adopted changes to school attendance laws preventing expulsion solely because of absenteeism. The new law also introduces additional reporting requirements and supports programs designed to help students earn diplomas via alternative routes.
By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which compares favorably with the national average of 15:1.
