Statewide, Georgia public schools served more than 1.7 million students, the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report revealed. Elementary levels led with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 in middle schools (22.7%) and 539,092 in high schools (31.4%).

Chronic absenteeism has persisted as a challenge for Georgia schools since the pandemic, with 20.7% of the student population missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. To address this, the GaDOE introduced statewide measures such as a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness initiative, and focused support in high-need areas.

In 2025, Georgia lawmakers approved changes to attendance laws, which now prohibit expulsion based only on absences. The updates also expand reporting obligations and coordinate with diploma completion pathways.

As of 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, an improvement when compared with the national average of 15:1.
