Statewide, Georgia public schools enrolled over 1.7 million students, the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report indicated.

Georgia continues to address chronic absenteeism in its schools after the pandemic. In 2024, 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days, according to the Georgia Department of Education. The GaDOE responded with a statewide campaign featuring an attendance dashboard, public outreach, and additional resources for districts with the greatest needs to improve attendance.
In 2025, state lawmakers passed new attendance regulations forbidding expulsion solely based on absences. The changes also require more detailed reporting and align with programs that support alternative paths to graduation.
By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-teacher ratio of about 14:1, outperforming the national ratio of 15:1.
