Chronic absenteeism is a continuing concern in Georgia schools since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students absent at least 10% of school days in 2024, data from the Georgia Department of Education show. In response, the GaDOE introduced a statewide program that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a broad awareness campaign, and focused assistance for districts with high needs to encourage regular attendance.
In 2025, Georgia lawmakers revised attendance laws prohibiting expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The updated rules also require additional reporting and support alternative diploma pathways for students.
As of 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, which remains ahead of the national average of 15:1.
