Post-pandemic, chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reports. To address the issue, GaDOE implemented statewide efforts featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public outreach campaign, and targeted support measures for schools with high need.
In 2025, state lawmakers updated Georgia’s school attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The legislation also enacted additional reporting standards and a framework for students to earn diplomas through alternative routes.
As of 2026, Georgia reported an average student-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which remains lower than the national average of 15:1.
