The Georgia Department of Education reports that chronic absenteeism continues to challenge schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of school days in 2024. As part of an ongoing campaign, GaDOE has rolled out a real-time attendance dashboard, a statewide awareness campaign, and resources for districts most in need to improve attendance.
In 2025, updates to Georgia school attendance laws barred expulsion solely on the basis of absenteeism. The rules now require additional reporting along with provisions that let students earn diplomas by alternative means.
By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, outperforming the national ratio of 15:1.
