Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. The Georgia Department of Education initiated new measures statewide, which include a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted support for high-need districts to improve daily attendance rates.
Beginning in 2025, new legislation in Georgia updated school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely based on absenteeism, added more reporting requirements, and aligned with programs that provide alternative diploma pathways.
As of 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio stood at about 14:1, which is lower than the national average of 15:1.
