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

Chronic absenteeism continues to impact Georgia schools since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education said. In an effort to address the issue, the agency launched a statewide effort featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and additional resources for high-need districts to improve student attendance.

In 2025, Georgia legislators approved a revision to school attendance laws banning expulsion solely for absenteeism. The measure also introduces new reporting procedures and is coordinated with initiatives providing alternative diploma pathways for students.

As of 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio stood at approximately 14:1, which is an improvement over the national average of 15:1.
