Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant concern in Georgia schools, with the Georgia Department of Education noting 20.7% of students missed at least 10% of school days in 2024. The agency has introduced a statewide campaign, public dashboard, and targeted supports for districts most affected by absences to help improve attendance. GaDOE launched a statewide initiative including a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted support for high-need districts to boost daily attendance.
In 2025, legislation in Georgia updated attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely due to absenteeism and introduced new reporting requirements, aligning with alternative diploma pathways for students.
By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was approximately 14:1, an improvement over the national average of 15:1.
