The National Center for Education Statistics reports that public school students in Georgia are approximately 36.4% Black, 35.9% white, 18.1% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 4.6% multiracial, 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Pacific Islander.
Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, as 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address attendance issues, GaDOE implemented a statewide plan that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and direct support for high-need districts.
In 2025, Georgia legislators updated school attendance policies to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The revised law also requires new reporting measures and aligns with programs that provide alternative diploma pathways.
By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-teacher ratio of around 14:1, improving on the national average of 15:1.
