Georgia public schools had more than 1.7 million students enrolled, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report.

Chronic absenteeism is persisting as a significant concern in Georgia’s schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, per the Georgia Department of Education. To respond, GaDOE launched a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a statewide public awareness campaign, and focused assistance for districts with higher needs to improve attendance.
In 2025, state lawmakers in Georgia approved legislation updating school attendance policies to prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The measure also implements new requirements for reporting and better integrates with alternative diploma program pathways.
Georgia’s student-to-teacher ratio was around 14:1 as of 2026, which is an improvement over the national average of 15:1.
