Chronic absenteeism remains prevalent in Georgia schools since the pandemic. In 2024, 20.7% of students missed 10% or more instructional days, according to the Georgia Department of Education. GaDOE responded with an initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness efforts, and targeted supports for high-need areas to improve daily attendance.
Legislation adopted by Georgia lawmakers in 2025 revised school attendance statutes, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The new law imposes additional reporting rules and is designed to better support students pursuing alternative diploma pathways.
Georgia’s average student-teacher ratio stood at about 14:1 as of 2026, a result more favorable than the national 15:1 average.
