Georgia’s public schools enrolled over 1.7 million students, the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report indicates. The elementary level saw the greatest enrollment at 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 in middle schools (22.7%) and 539,092 in high schools (31.4%).

Chronic absenteeism remains a key challenge in Georgia’s schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, as reported by the Georgia Department of Education. This prompted the launch of a statewide initiative that features a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted resources to help improve daily attendance in high-need districts.

In 2025, Georgia legislators changed state attendance laws to prohibit expulsions solely for absenteeism. The updated policy includes additional reporting guidelines and lines up with programs that allow for alternative diploma pathways.

Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1 as of 2026, exceeding the national average of 15:1 cited by Public School Review.
