Chronic absenteeism remains a significant concern in Georgia following the pandemic. In 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported that 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of the school year. In response, GaDOE introduced a new statewide strategy that features a real-time attendance dashboard, a public information campaign, and targeted interventions for districts with higher needs to improve daily attendance.
Georgia lawmakers passed an updated attendance law in 2025 that prohibits expelling students solely for frequent absences. The change also includes new reporting requirements and is linked to initiatives that offer students different diploma pathways. Additional information is available here.
As of 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 14:1, which compares favorably to the national average of 15:1.
