Georgia’s public schools enrolled more than 1.7 million students, according to the Georgia Department of Education’s Fiscal Year 2026-1 report.

Chronic absenteeism is still a significant concern in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, per the Georgia Department of Education. To address the problem, GaDOE started a statewide effort including a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted resources for schools with high absentee rates.

In 2025, Georgia legislators approved a bill updating attendance laws to prohibit expelling students solely due to absenteeism. The legislation also introduces new reporting standards and supports programs that provide alternative paths to graduation.

By 2026, Georgia’s student-to-teacher ratio averaged roughly 14:1, compared to the national average of 15:1.
