According to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report, Georgia’s public schools enrolled over 1.7 million students. The breakdown was 787,206 students (45.9%) in elementary grades, 388,733 (22.7%) in middle school, and 539,092 (31.4%) in high school.
Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools in the post-pandemic period, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, per Georgia Department of Education data. GaDOE has responded by launching a statewide initiative that includes the creation of a real-time attendance dashboard, outreach efforts, and focused support for high-need districts to improve daily attendance.
A bill was passed in 2025 by Georgia lawmakers changing school attendance law to prohibit expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The legislation also introduces additional reporting requirements and syncs with alternative paths for earning a high school diploma.
By 2026, Georgia posted an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, surpassing the national ratio of 15:1.
