Chronic absenteeism remains a significant concern for Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness measures, and focused assistance for districts with high need to enhance attendance rates.
Georgia lawmakers approved legislation in 2025 updating school attendance rules, prohibiting expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The bill also established additional reporting requirements and synchronized attendance policies with programs offering alternate diploma options for students.
As of 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which remains slightly ahead of the national average of 15:1.
