According to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report, more than 1.7 million students attended Georgia’s public schools. Enrollment peaked at the elementary level with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 in middle school (22.7%) and 539,092 in high school (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia’s schools post-pandemic; 20.7% of students missed 10% or more school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education found. In response, the GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative including a real-time attendance dashboard, awareness campaign and targeted assistance for districts most in need to improve student attendance.
Georgia lawmakers in 2025 enacted legislation updating attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The measure institutes additional reporting requirements and aligns with alternative diploma completion programs for students.
By 2026, Georgia reached an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, surpassing the national average of 15:1.
