Chronic absenteeism continues as a significant challenge across Georgia schools in the years since the pandemic. The Georgia Department of Education reported that 20.7% of students missed 10% or more of all school days in 2024. To address this, GaDOE introduced a range of measures, including a real-time attendance dashboard, a statewide outreach campaign, and support for districts with higher needs to improve daily attendance rates.

Georgia lawmakers enacted a new bill in 2025 updating attendance statutes, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The legislation also added more reporting protocols and programs for students pursuing diplomas through alternate pathways. For the text of the bill, see here.

Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was estimated at 14:1 as of 2026, compared with the national figure of 15:1.
