The problem of chronic absenteeism persists in Georgia after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education found. In response, GaDOE began a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and focused support for high-need districts to improve attendance rates.
In 2025, Georgia legislators approved a law revising school attendance requirements, forbidding expulsions based only on absenteeism. Additional provisions require expanded reporting and support alternate diploma pathways.
As of 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of around 14:1, surpassing the national average of 15:1.
