The National Center for Education Statistics reported that the racial and ethnic breakdown of Georgia’s public school students included about 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 remains a significant concern in Georgia 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 an effort to improve daily attendance, GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness campaigns, and targeted support for districts with high needs.
In 2025, Georgia legislators enacted a measure that updates school attendance statutes, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The new law also adds extra reporting requirements and coordinates with programs for alternative diploma pathways.
By 2026, Georgia’s statewide average student-to-teacher ratio stood at about 14:1, which is slightly better than the national average of 15:1.
