The Georgia Department of Education reported that 20.7% of students were chronically absent in 2024—missing 10% or more of school days. To address this, GaDOE initiated a statewide campaign that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, greater public awareness, and increased support for districts facing high absenteeism rates.
In 2025, Georgia legislators enacted new attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism, requiring new reporting standards, and aligning with initiatives that support alternative diploma pathways.
The average student-to-teacher ratio in Georgia stood at around 14:1 in 2026, surpassing the national average of 15:1, as detailed by Public School Review.
