Post-pandemic, chronic absenteeism is an ongoing challenge for Georgia, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, Georgia Department of Education data indicates. The GaDOE responded with statewide action, including an attendance dashboard for real-time data, awareness campaigns, and focused interventions in high-need districts to improve daily attendance.
Legislation passed in 2025 updated Georgia’s school attendance policies, banning expulsion for absenteeism alone. The reforms add reporting requirements and coordinate with alternative diploma programs.
By 2026, Georgia schools maintained a student-to-teacher ratio near 14:1, compared with the national ratio of 15:1.
