Chronic absenteeism has continued to challenge Georgia’s schools since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to Georgia Department of Education findings. As a response, the GaDOE began a statewide initiative that features real-time attendance dashboards, increased public awareness, and targeted assistance for districts with higher needs.
Georgia lawmakers passed a measure in 2025 that updated attendance regulations, making it illegal to expel students solely due to absenteeism. The revised law also introduced new reporting protocols and bolstered diploma options via alternative pathways for students.
Data from 2026 show that Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio stood at roughly 14:1, surpassing the national ratio of 15:1.
