Persistent chronic absenteeism continues to affect schools in Georgia post-pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education said. In response, GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness programs, and targeted help for high-need districts to raise daily attendance.
In 2025, Georgia legislators updated school attendance laws to ban expulsions based solely on absenteeism. The changes also feature expanded reporting and added alignment with alternative diploma pathways for students.
By 2026, the average student-to-teacher ratio in Georgia was about 14:1, exceeding the national average of 15:1.
