Chronic absenteeism continues to affect Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. In response, the GaDOE has started a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, increased public awareness, and added support for districts with higher needs to improve attendance.
In 2025, lawmakers in Georgia revised school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The updated law also requires new data reporting and harmonizes with alternative diploma programs.
As of 2026, the average student-to-teacher ratio in Georgia stood at about 14:1, outperforming the national average of 15:1.
