A continuing concern for Georgia schools post-pandemic is chronic absenteeism. In 2024, 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of their school days, according to the Georgia Department of Education. GaDOE launched a response, including a real-time attendance dashboard, a statewide awareness campaign, and focused assistance for high-need districts to promote daily attendance. GaDOE details these efforts online.
Georgia lawmakers amended school attendance legislation in 2025, prohibiting expulsions solely for absenteeism. The new law also expands reporting duties and aligns with alternate diploma attainment options. Additional details on the bill are available here.
In 2026, the state’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, according to public school review data. This ratio is reported as better than the national average of 15:1.
