Georgia public schools served more than 1.7 million students, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 data. Elementary schools had the largest enrollment at 787,206 students (45.9%), compared to 388,733 in middle schools (22.7%), and 539,092 in high schools (31.4%).

The rate of chronic absenteeism has persisted in Georgia schools since the pandemic, with 20.7% of all students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, based on Georgia Department of Education data. The GaDOE responded with statewide initiatives that include an attendance dashboard, public campaigns, and targeted district assistance aimed at improving attendance.

Legislation passed by Georgia lawmakers in 2025 updated attendance policies, prohibiting expulsion for absenteeism alone. Changes also require additional reporting and provide pathways for students to earn diplomas through alternative programs.

By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 14:1, which remains lower than the national average of 15:1.
