Chronic absenteeism persists in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, GaDOE started a statewide initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, heightened public awareness efforts, and targeted assistance for high-need districts to increase attendance rates.
In 2025, Georgia legislators updated school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The new law also mandates additional reporting and supports programs for students to earn diplomas through alternative pathways.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio stood at about 14:1, which is favorable compared to the national ratio of 15:1.
