Chronic absenteeism continues to affect Georgia schools following the pandemic, as 20.7% of students missed 10% or more of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In an effort to address this, the department has rolled out new statewide efforts such as a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and increased support targeted at districts with the greatest needs to improve attendance rates.
In 2025, Georgia legislators updated school attendance laws to prohibit expulsions for absenteeism alone. The legislation introduced new reporting obligations and supports programs enabling students to earn diplomas through alternative means.
Data from 2026 shows Georgia had an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which is an improvement over the national average of 15:1.
