Chronic absenteeism continues to impact Georgia schools after the pandemic. According to the Georgia Department of Education, 20.7% of students missed 10% or more of school days in 2024. To address this, GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative that features a real-time attendance dashboard, an awareness campaign, and specialized assistance for high-need districts to improve attendance.

In 2025, Georgia passed legislation revising school attendance rules to prohibit expulsions solely based on absenteeism. This update added new reporting obligations and supports alternate diploma programs for students.

By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, which compares favorably to the national average of 15:1.
