Post-pandemic, chronic absenteeism remains a challenge in Georgia as 20.7% of students were absent for 10% or more of the school year in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, GaDOE initiated a statewide campaign featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness efforts, and additional support for districts with high absenteeism rates.
Georgia legislators approved a bill in 2025 modifying attendance laws to prohibit expulsion as a consequence solely for absenteeism. The changes included additional reporting requirements and support for diploma alternatives.
By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-teacher ratio of roughly 14:1, which is more favorable than the national average of 15:1.
