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

Chronic absenteeism continues to affect Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, Georgia Department of Education data shows. To address the issue, GaDOE has launched a statewide response that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public education campaign, and concentrated assistance for districts with the greatest needs to boost daily attendance.
In 2025, state legislators approved updates to public school attendance policies, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The revised legislation also establishes new requirements for reporting and supports alternative diploma pathways for students.
Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio in 2026 was approximately 14:1, which is lower than the national average of 15:1.
