Georgia’s public schools enrolled over 1.7 million students as reported in the Georgia Department of Education Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Elementary schools included 787,206 students (45.9%), middle schools had 388,733 (22.7%), and high schools reached 539,092 (31.4%).

Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant concern statewide, with 20.7% of Georgia students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. The GaDOE responded with a statewide initiative utilizing a real-time attendance dashboard, increased public awareness, and targeted aid to districts with the greatest needs to improve daily attendance rates.

In 2025, the Georgia Legislature enacted changes to school attendance laws prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The updated law introduces additional reporting requirements and supports alternative diploma pathways.

By 2026, Georgia reported a student-to-teacher ratio near 14:1, which compares favorably to the national figure of 15:1.
