Georgia public schools served more than 1.7 million students overall, according to the Georgia Department of Education Fiscal Year 2026-1 report. Elementary enrollment made up the largest share with 787,206 students (45.9%), followed by 388,733 students in middle school (22.7%) and 539,092 enrolled in high school (31.4%).
Statewide, chronic absenteeism is an ongoing concern. In 2024, 20.7% of Georgia students missed at least 10% of school days, per Georgia Department of Education figures. The department addressed this trend with a new statewide program, which includes a live attendance dashboard, public awareness measures, and additional support for high-need districts to encourage stronger attendance.
In 2025, new legislation approved by Georgia lawmakers revised school attendance policies, barring expulsion based strictly on absences. The regulation introduces more accountability for reporting and complements initiatives that allow students to complete diplomas through alternative routes.
By 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio around 14:1, surpassing the national mean of 15:1.
