Chronic absenteeism persists as a challenge in Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days during 2024, per the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, the state has launched a new initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted interventions for districts with the highest need.
In 2025, state lawmakers approved updates to school attendance laws prohibiting expulsions solely for absenteeism. The law also requires additional reporting and now supports programs aimed at helping students earn diplomas via alternative routes.
Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1 as of 2026, which outperformed the national average of 15:1.
