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 made up the largest share with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 students in middle schools (22.7%) and 539,092 students in high schools (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, as 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address the issue, GaDOE announced a statewide campaign featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness efforts, and targeted support for districts with high absentee rates.
Georgia lawmakers voted in 2025 to update school attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion solely due to absenteeism and adding new reporting and accommodations for alternative diploma pathways. The changes were enacted into law.
In 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, lower than the national average of 15:1.
