Georgia’s public schools served more than 1.7 million students, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Elementary grades saw the highest enrollment, with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by middle school with 388,733 students (22.7%) and high school with 539,092 students (31.4%).
Statewide, chronic absenteeism continues to be a challenge post-pandemic in Georgia, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. The GaDOE responded with an initiative that features a real-time attendance dashboard, an awareness campaign, and focused aid for high-need districts to support better daily attendance.
In 2025, Georgia legislators changed attendance policies to prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The revised law introduces new reporting requirements and is consistent with existing alternative diploma programs.
By 2026, the average student-to-teacher ratio in Georgia was about 14:1, an improvement over the national average of 15:1.
