Chronic absenteeism remains an ongoing concern: 20.7% of Georgia students missed 10% or more instructional days in 2024, according to data from the Georgia Department of Education. In response, GaDOE launched a comprehensive statewide plan with features like a real-time attendance dashboard, a public outreach initiative, and specialized assistance for high-need districts to drive daily attendance improvements.
In 2025, Georgia enacted legislation revising school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The updated law includes new reporting requirements and supports pathways for students to obtain diplomas using alternative options.
By 2026, Georgia’s public schools reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 14:1, a figure that surpasses the national average of 15:1.
Note: Due to potential gaps in the available data, reported percentages may not total exactly 100%.
