Chronic absenteeism has persisted as a significant issue in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In an effort to address this, the department launched a statewide strategy that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, awareness campaigns, and targeted support for districts with high need to improve daily student attendance.
In 2025, a law passed by Georgia legislators updated school attendance requirements and barred expulsion based only on absenteeism. The statute also established new compliance reporting and supports alternative routes for diploma completion.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-teacher ratio reached around 14:1, better than the national average of 15:1.
