The Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report stated that more than 1.7 million students attended Georgia’s public schools. Most students were in elementary grades (787,206 or 45.9%), followed by middle school (388,733 or 22.7%) and high school (539,092 or 31.4%).
Georgia schools have continued facing chronic absenteeism since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, the GaDOE introduced a statewide program that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public information campaign, and targeted aid for districts with greater needs to improve daily attendance rates.
Legislation passed by Georgia lawmakers in 2025 amended attendance policies, making it illegal to expel students only for missing school. The bill also adds reporting obligations and supports alternatives to help students earn diplomas through flexible programs.
In 2026, Georgia’s student-to-teacher ratio averaged 14:1, an improvement compared to the national average of 15:1.
