Chronic absenteeism continues to affect Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address the issue, the state launched a new initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, an awareness campaign, and additional support for districts most affected by absenteeism.
In 2025, the Georgia legislature approved an update to school attendance laws prohibiting student expulsion solely because of absences. The bill also introduced new reporting requirements and supports programs that offer alternative paths to graduation.
By 2026, Georgia posted an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, surpassing the national average of 15:1.
Note: Due to potential gaps in the available data, reported percentages may not total exactly 100%.
