Georgia schools are still experiencing high chronic absenteeism rates in the wake of the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, GaDOE has launched new statewide efforts that feature a real-time attendance dashboard, a public information campaign, and targeted help for districts with high needs in order to improve daily attendance rates.
Georgia legislators passed a bill in 2025 to revise attendance rules, prohibiting expulsions for absenteeism alone. The measure also requires more detailed reporting and coordinates with programs supporting alternative paths toward earning a high school diploma. For more, see here.
As of 2026, Georgia schools reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 14:1, lower than the national average of 15:1.
