Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the COVID-19 pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, GaDOE has introduced statewide efforts that include a real-time attendance dashboard, a public outreach campaign, and specialized support in high-need districts aimed at improving attendance rates.
In 2025, Georgia lawmakers approved legislation modifying school attendance policies to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The new law also establishes updated reporting protocols and supports initiatives that allow students to earn diplomas through alternative methods.
By 2026, Georgia achieved an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, compared to the national average of 15:1.
