Georgia’s public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students, as stated in the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report.

Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, the Georgia Department of Education rolled out a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and support for high-need districts to improve daily participation.

Georgia lawmakers approved a bill in 2025 to update attendance policies, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The new law also introduces additional reporting rules and aligns with alternative diploma pathways.

As of 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which is better than the national average of 15:1.

Note: Due to potential gaps in the available data, reported percentages may not total exactly 100%.
