Data from the National Center for Education Statistics shows public school students in Georgia were 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.

Following the pandemic, chronic absenteeism persists in Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of days in 2024, per Georgia Department of Education data. To combat this, the department initiated a statewide campaign featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, public outreach and additional support for districts most affected to improve student attendance.

In 2025, state legislators in Georgia amended school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The updated law also includes added reporting obligations and coordinates with initiatives supporting diploma attainment through alternative methods.

By 2026, Georgia’s average student-teacher ratio was about 14:1, outperforming the national average of 15:1.
