The Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report noted that more than 1.7 million students were enrolled at Georgia public schools. Enrollment was primarily at the elementary level with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 middle school students (22.7%) and 539,092 high school students (31.4%).
Georgia schools are still challenged by chronic absenteeism: 20.7% of students missed 10% or more school days in 2024, according to the Department of Education. A statewide initiative launched by GaDOE features a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and support for districts with greater needs to encourage improved attendance.
Lawmakers in Georgia passed legislation in 2025 that prevents schools from expelling students only for absenteeism. These changes also add reporting requirements and coordinate with programs designed to help students graduate through alternative routes.
Reports from 2026 put Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio at roughly 14:1, a figure better than the national average of 15:1.
