Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools post-pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, the Georgia Department of Education started a statewide program that features a real-time attendance dashboard, an informational campaign, and focused assistance for districts most in need to improve attendance rates.
Legislation passed in 2025 by Georgia lawmakers revised school attendance policies to prohibit expulsion for absenteeism alone. The measure also introduced updated reporting protocols and supports efforts allowing students to obtain diplomas through alternative means.
Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio stood at roughly 14:1 by 2026, according to Public School Review, outpacing the national average of 15:1.
