Georgia’s public school enrollment exceeded 1.7 million students, as indicated by the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Most students were enrolled in elementary school, totaling 787,206 (45.9%), followed by 388,733 (22.7%) in middle school and 539,092 (31.4%) attending high school.
Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address attendance, the GaDOE rolled out a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, awareness campaigns, and targeted support for districts with higher needs to improve daily attendance.
In 2025, a bill was enacted by Georgia lawmakers to revise school attendance policies, prohibiting expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The legislation introduces additional reporting requirements and aligns with efforts to help students complete diplomas through alternative methods.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-teacher ratio reached around 14:1, surpassing the national average of 15:1.
