Statewide, Georgia public schools reported enrollment exceeding 1.7 million students, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report.

Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant concern for Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, based on reports from the Georgia Department of Education. In an effort to address the issue, GaDOE started a statewide campaign that features a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness efforts, and targeted assistance for districts with higher needs to improve daily attendance rates.
During 2025, a new Georgia law was enacted to revise school attendance policies, prohibiting expulsions based solely on absenteeism. Additional provisions require increased reporting and coordination with programs that offer alternative diploma options.
By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which is an improvement compared to the national average of 15:1.
