Chronic absenteeism continues to impact Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. The GaDOE launched a statewide effort featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness initiatives, and tailored support for districts with the greatest need to raise daily attendance.
In 2025, state lawmakers approved legislation revising school attendance rules to prohibit expulsions based solely on absenteeism. The measure also brings in new reporting protocols and supports alternative diploma attainment programs.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, which is lower than the national figure of 15:1.
Note: Due to potential gaps in the available data, reported percentages may not total exactly 100%.
