The Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report indicated that more than 1.7 million students were registered in Georgia public schools. Elementary grades accounted for the highest enrollment with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by middle school grades with 388,733 (22.7%) and high school with 539,092 (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge schools in Georgia, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of days in 2024, data from the Georgia Department of Education show. In response, the Georgia Department of Education started a statewide effort that features a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness outreach and targeted support in districts identified as high-need.
Legislation passed by Georgia lawmakers in 2025 changed school attendance regulations, prohibiting expulsion just for absenteeism. The updated law also introduces new reporting rules and aligns with programs designed to help students receive diplomas via alternative pathways.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was approximately 14:1, more favorable than the national average of 15:1.
