Chronic absenteeism is still a significant concern in Georgia following the pandemic, as 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days in 2024, per the Georgia Department of Education. The department responded by initiating a statewide effort, including a real-time attendance dashboard, a public information campaign, and extra support for districts with high absentee rates to improve daily attendance.
Georgia lawmakers in 2025 updated school attendance regulations to prohibit expulsion for absenteeism alone. The new requirements also include expanded reporting and provisions for alternatives to help students secure diplomas.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was around 14:1, below the national average of 15:1.
