Chronic absenteeism after the pandemic continues to impact Georgia’s schools; in 2024, 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days, according to the state education department. To address this, the state education department has rolled out new statewide efforts, including an attendance dashboard, public outreach campaign and extra support for high-needs districts to encourage student attendance.
Legislation approved by Georgia in 2025 updated school attendance rules, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The new law also requires added reporting and coordinates with programs helping students finish high school by alternative means.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1. This is lower than the national average of 15:1.
