Georgia public schools served over 1.7 million students for the same period, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Elementary enrollment led the state with 787,206 students (45.9%), while middle schools tallied 388,733 students (22.7%), and high schools counted 539,092 students (31.4%).
Chronic absenteeism has become a persistent problem in Georgia following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. GaDOE responded by establishing a statewide initiative, rolling out a real-time attendance dashboard, launching an awareness campaign, and offering targeted support to high-need districts to improve daily attendance across the state.
Georgia lawmakers approved new legislation in 2025 which prohibits expulsion solely due to absenteeism and adds additional reporting requirements as well as alignment with diploma attainment programs via updated attendance laws.
For 2026, Georgia schools maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of around 14:1, outperforming the national student-to-teacher ratio of 15:1.
