Statewide enrollment in Georgia’s public schools surpassed 1.7 million students, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report.

After the pandemic, chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant concern for Georgia schools, the Georgia Department of Education reported, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024. To address this, GaDOE introduced a statewide effort featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted support for districts with high needs.

In 2025, Georgia lawmakers updated school attendance legislation, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The revised law also implements new reporting guidelines and supports alternative diploma pathways for students.

As of 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which is lower than the national average of 15:1.
