According to the Fiscal Year 2026-1 report from the Georgia Department of Education, over 1.7 million students attended Georgia public schools. Elementary grades saw the most students with 787,206 (45.9%), followed by middle schools at 388,733 (22.7%) and high schools at 539,092 (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools in the aftermath of the pandemic. In 2024, 20.7% of students missed 10% or more days, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address attendance, the department implemented a statewide initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness measures, and targeted support for high-need districts.
Georgia lawmakers enacted a bill in 2025 to revise school attendance laws, now prohibiting expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The measure adds new reporting requirements and aligns with alternative diploma programs for students.
By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio around 14:1, exceeding the national ratio of 15:1.
