Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address attendance, GaDOE implemented a statewide plan featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public education campaign, and additional support for districts with high needs to improve student attendance.
Georgia passed legislation in 2025 updating school attendance policies, prohibiting expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The new law also introduces fresh reporting obligations and supports alternative programs that help students earn diplomas through multiple pathways. More information can be found at this link.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, which remained more favorable than the national average of 15:1.
