Georgia public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students according to the Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Elementary schools enrolled the most students—787,206 (45.9%)—followed by middle schools with 388,733 students (22.7%), and high schools with 539,092 students (31.4%).
The Georgia Department of Education reports that chronic absenteeism continues to challenge state schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students absent for at least 10% of the days in 2024. Efforts were launched to address these numbers, including a real-time attendance dashboard, increased public awareness, and more support for districts facing the greatest needs.
Georgia legislators passed a law in 2025 revising school attendance rules, which blocks expulsions based only on absentee reasons. The statute also outlines additional reporting steps and aligns attendance policies with academic paths for diploma completion.
By 2026, Georgia’s student-to-teacher ratio averaged roughly 14:1, which is lower than the national 15:1 ratio.
