Georgia’s public school enrollment surpassed 1.7 million students, the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report stated. Elementary grades had the highest enrollment at 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 in middle school (22.7%), and 539,092 in high school (31.4%).
Post-pandemic, Georgia continues to address chronic absenteeism, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. In response, GaDOE launched a statewide initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness campaign, and targeted district support to improve daily attendance.
In 2025, a new law in Georgia updated school attendance policies to prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The legislation also added reporting requirements and aligned with programs designed to help students graduate through alternative means.
As of 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 14:1, surpassing the national average of 15:1.
