Chronic absenteeism remains a significant concern post-pandemic in Georgia schools, as 20.7% of students missed 10% or more school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, GaDOE started a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and dedicated support for high-need districts to improve regular attendance.
In 2025, state legislators in Georgia approved a bill revising attendance law to prohibit expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The legislation also implements updated reporting standards and coordinates with programs enabling alternative pathways for students to obtain their diplomas.
As of 2026, data indicated that Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, which is lower than the U.S. average of 15:1.
