The National Center for Education Statistics reports that public school students in Georgia are about 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 still poses a significant challenge in Georgia after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, GaDOE introduced a statewide plan, featuring a live attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and specialized assistance for districts with the highest need.
In 2025, Georgia legislators approved a law updating attendance policy to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. New requirements for reporting and alternative graduation tracks are now included in the legislation.
By 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which remains more favorable than the national average of 15:1.
