Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant challenge in Georgia schools since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, the Georgia Department of Education launched a statewide initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, awareness campaigns, and focused support for districts with the highest need to improve attendance.
In 2025, legislation updated Georgia school attendance laws to prohibit expelling students solely for absenteeism. The law also introduced new reporting obligations and coordinated with programming that helps students graduate through alternative paths.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, lower than the national average of 15:1.
