The National Center for Education Statistics indicated that Georgia’s public school student demographics included approximately 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander.
Chronic absenteeism remains a challenge in Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. Efforts by GaDOE include a new statewide program featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, awareness campaigns, and targeted initiatives for high-need districts to increase attendance.
In 2025, Georgia lawmakers approved legislation updating attendance laws, prohibiting expulsions solely for absenteeism and requiring new reporting standards. The law is designed to support alternative diploma pathways as well.
By 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-teacher ratio of 14:1, better than the national average of 15:1.
