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

The issue of chronic absenteeism has persisted since the pandemic, with 20.7% of Georgia students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, per the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, the GaDOE rolled out a statewide campaign that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public education initiative and focused support for districts with high need.
In 2025, Georgia legislators adopted new rules on school attendance, banning expulsions based solely on absenteeism. Additional reporting requirements were introduced, and programs were created to support alternative diploma paths.
As of 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was around 14:1, outperforming the national average of 15:1.
