The issue of chronic absenteeism continues to affect Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. To address this, the GaDOE implemented a statewide initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted assistance for districts with the highest needs.
Georgia lawmakers approved legislation in 2025 to amend school attendance regulations, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The legislation introduces new reporting requirements and coordinates with programs designed to help students earn diplomas through alternative options. Details are outlined here.
By 2026, the average student-to-teacher ratio in Georgia was about 14:1, outperforming the national average of 15:1.
