Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, Georgia Department of Education data shows. In response, the department launched a statewide attendance initiative that includes a real-time dashboard, public awareness campaign, and targeted support to improve daily attendance in high-need districts.
Georgia lawmakers updated attendance laws in 2025, passing a bill that prohibits expulsion based only on absenteeism. The new law also requires additional reporting and coordinates with diploma programs that offer alternative graduation paths. More details are available here.
As of 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, which is lower than the national average of 15:1.
