Chronic absenteeism persists in Georgia schools in the wake of the pandemic. The 2024 figures indicate 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days. To address this, the Georgia Department of Education rolled out a statewide strategy including a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness initiatives and targeted aid for districts with the highest needs to improve attendance rates.
In 2025, state legislators updated attendance-related laws, prohibiting expulsions for absenteeism alone. The legislation establishes new reporting mandates and supports varied diploma pathways for students.
By 2026, Georgia’s student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, which remained favorable compared to the national ratio of 15:1.
