Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic. In 2024, 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of their school days, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness campaigns, and targeted support for districts with the greatest needs to improve attendance rates.
In 2025, Georgia lawmakers updated attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The legislation also includes expanded reporting duties and is coordinated with diploma assistance programs that offer alternative completion paths for students.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, outperforming the national average of 15:1.
