The National Center for Education Statistics states the racial and ethnic breakdown for Georgia’s public schools as 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander.
Chronic absenteeism continues to be a concern across Georgia after the pandemic, with the Georgia Department of Education reporting 20.7% of students missed 10% or more school days in 2024. The department responded with a statewide initiative, implementing a real-time attendance dashboard, increasing public awareness, and offering targeted assistance to high-need districts to promote regular attendance.
Georgia legislators enacted a law in 2025 updating school attendance rules. The new requirements prohibit schools from expelling students solely due to absenteeism, introduce additional reporting requirements, and connect with programs helping students access alternate pathways to a diploma.
By 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, ahead of the national average of 15:1.
