Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reports. The GaDOE responded with a state initiative that features a real-time attendance dashboard, heightened public awareness and targeted aid for high-need districts to improve attendance rates.
In 2025, Georgia passed legislation updating school attendance rules to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The law introduces additional reporting rules and ties in with alternative diploma pathways for students.
By 2026, Georgia had a student-teacher ratio of about 14:1, outpacing the national average of 15:1.
