Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. In its response, GaDOE initiated a renewed statewide effort including a live attendance tracker, a public awareness push, and additional assistance for the districts in greatest need to encourage regular attendance.
Legislation passed by Georgia lawmakers in 2025 updated school attendance laws to bar expulsion based solely on absences. The bill also introduced more robust reporting steps and was designed to coordinate with plans that allow students to earn diplomas through alternate routes.
By 2026, Georgia’s student-teacher ratio averaged about 14:1, outpacing the national ratio of 15:1.
