Data from the National Center for Education Statistics indicated Georgia public schools had approximately 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 students statewide.
Following the pandemic, chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, based on the Georgia Department of Education data. In response, GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, awareness campaigns, and targeted district support to increase school attendance.
In 2025, state legislators approved a bill updating school attendance regulations to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The new law outlines additional reporting requirements and works alongside alternative diploma programs.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio stood at about 14:1, lower than the national average of 15:1.
