The National Center for Education Statistics reports that public school students in Georgia by race and ethnicity were 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 continues to pose challenges in Georgia post-pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. The agency has acted by launching a statewide initiative with a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness efforts, and targeted district support to increase daily attendance.
In 2025, Georgia updated attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The legislation also introduces new reporting requirements and matches programs helping students earn diplomas by alternative routes.
For 2026, Georgia recorded an average student-to-teacher ratio of around 14:1, compared with the national ratio of 15:1.
