Post-pandemic, chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. The department responded with a statewide initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness effort, and help for high-need districts aimed at increasing daily attendance.
In 2025, legislators in Georgia approved new school attendance law updates, prohibiting expulsion based only on absenteeism. The law introduces reporting updates and supports alternative diploma pathways for students.
For 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, which exceeds the national figure of 15:1.
