Chronic absenteeism has continued to challenge Georgia schools since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of instructional days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. The department introduced a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness activities, and enhanced support for districts with substantial needs to improve attendance.
Georgia legislators enacted a bill in 2025 to amend school attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The measure also unveils new reporting requirements and coordinates with pathways that allow students to earn diplomas through nontraditional routes. Details about the legislation are provided by the Georgia legislature.
For 2026, the average student-to-teacher ratio in Georgia was about 14:1, per state data, which compares favorably to the national average of 15:1.
