Chronic absenteeism continues to be a key concern for Georgia schools after 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 introduced a statewide strategy involving a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness outreach, and targeted support for districts with high needs to improve daily attendance.
In 2025, state lawmakers enacted a measure updating school attendance policies to prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The revised law also institutes new reporting protocols and ensures compatibility with programs offering alternative paths to a diploma.
As of 2026, Georgia averaged about 14 students per teacher, an improvement over the nationwide average of 15 students per teacher.
