According to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report, Georgia’s public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students. Elementary grades made up the majority at 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 in middle school (22.7%) and 539,092 in high school (31.4%).
The rate of chronic absenteeism continues to pose challenges for Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students absent for at least 10% of school days in 2024, as noted by the Georgia Department of Education. In an effort to address this, the Georgia Department of Education launched a statewide effort that features a real-time attendance dashboard, increased public outreach, and supports targeting districts with high needs to promote better daily attendance.
In 2025, Georgia lawmakers updated school attendance regulations, prohibiting expulsion for absenteeism alone. The new law brings added reporting obligations and promotes pathways for students to complete diplomas through alternative options.
Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio as of 2026 was about 14:1, a figure that outperforms the national average of 15:1.
