Georgia public schools had over 1.7 million enrolled students, according to the Fiscal Year 2026-1 report from the Georgia Department of Education. Elementary grade enrollment stood at 787,206 (45.9%), middle schools had 388,733 students (22.7%), and high schools enrolled 539,092 (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students absent at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. To address this, GaDOE initiated a statewide program featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public outreach campaign, and targeted interventions for districts with high needs to increase daily attendance.
In 2025, state lawmakers approved updates to Georgia’s attendance laws, now prohibiting student expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The statute introduces new reporting standards and supports initiatives that help students earn diplomas through alternative programs.
By 2026, the average student-to-teacher ratio in Georgia was about 14:1, which outperformed the national average of 15:1.
