Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools following the pandemic; 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reports. To combat this, GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative with real-time attendance tracking, awareness campaigns, and intervention for at-risk districts.
In 2025, Georgia passed legislation amending school attendance policies to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The bill mandates new reporting standards and aims to support alternative pathways to graduation.
As of 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, surpassing the national average of 15:1.
