Chronic absenteeism continues to pose a major challenge in Georgia since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. In an effort to improve attendance, GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted assistance for districts most in need.
In 2025, Georgia legislators updated attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely based on absenteeism. The new regulations also introduce additional reporting requirements and coordinate with programs enabling students to earn diplomas through alternative pathways.
By 2026, Georgia recorded an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which is an improvement over the U.S. average of 15:1.
