Chronic absenteeism remains a significant challenge across Georgia following the pandemic period, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of instructional days in 2024, Georgia Department of Education data show. In an effort to address this, GaDOE initiated a statewide program that features a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness drive, and targeted district support aimed at maintaining daily student attendance.
In 2025, legislation was enacted in Georgia revising school attendance statutes to prohibit expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The act incorporates additional reporting mandates and connects with pathways that support alternate diploma attainment for students.
As of 2026, Georgia reported a student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, outperforming the national rate of 15:1.
