More than 1.7 million students were enrolled in Georgia public schools, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. The elementary grades had the highest number (787,206, or 45.9%), followed by middle school with 388,733 (22.7%) and high school with 539,092 (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism remains a significant challenge in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. The agency responded with a statewide effort that introduced a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted assistance for districts with the highest needs.
In 2025, Georgia legislators approved revisions to school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion based solely on absences. The new law added reporting requirements and works in tandem with initiatives that allow students to earn diplomas through alternate avenues.
Georgia had an average student-teacher ratio of about 14:1 as of 2026, according to Public School Review; this compares favorably to the national average of 15:1.
