More than 1.7 million students were enrolled in Georgia’s public schools, the Georgia Department of Education reported in its Fiscal Year 2026-1 data. The highest concentration of enrollment was in elementary grades at 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 middle school students (22.7%), and 539,092 high school students (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to pose a significant concern across Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address the issue, GaDOE has introduced measures statewide, including implementing a real-time attendance dashboard, starting a public awareness initiative, and providing targeted assistance to districts with greater needs to promote daily attendance.
In 2025, Georgia legislators approved an update to attendance laws that prohibits expulsion based solely on unexcused absences. The new statutes also establish additional reporting rules and coordinate with alternative diploma pathways for students.
By 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio near 14:1, better than the national average of 15:1.
