Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant concern in Georgia schools after the pandemic, as 20.7% of students missed 10% or more of school days in 2024, based on figures from the Georgia Department of Education. The GaDOE initiated a statewide strategy that features a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness effort, and specific support for districts with high need to encourage more consistent attendance.
In 2025, Georgia lawmakers enacted new attendance laws that prohibit expulsion solely on the basis of absenteeism. The legislation also establishes additional reporting standards and aligns with programs offering alternative diploma routes for students.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, which outperformed the national average of 15:1.
