Across Georgia, public school enrollment surpassed 1.7 million students, as reported in the state Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 review. The majority were in elementary grades (787,206, or 45.9%), with middle grades at 388,733 (22.7%) and high schools enrolling 539,092 (31.4%).
The Georgia Department of Education reports chronic absenteeism remains a concern statewide, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024. In response, the GaDOE launched a state-level attendance initiative incorporating a real-time dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and focused help for districts with higher absenteeism to increase daily school participation.
In 2025, state legislators passed a measure revising attendance laws, now prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The law requires additional reporting and aligns with initiatives offering students new ways to complete diploma requirements through alternate routes.
By 2026, the student-to-teacher ratio in Georgia public schools averaged around 14:1, a figure better than the national average of 15:1.
