The National Center for Education Statistics reports that Georgia’s public school students were 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 challenge Georgia’s public schools after 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, GaDOE introduced statewide measures, including a real-time attendance dashboard, awareness campaign, and direct support focused on increasing daily school attendance in areas of high need.
In 2025, state lawmakers in Georgia revised school attendance regulations, prohibiting expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The legislation also introduced additional reporting obligations and revamped diploma pathway programs for students.
By 2026, Georgia recorded an average student-to-teacher ratio of 14:1, which compares favorably to the nationwide ratio of 15:1.
