Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days during 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, GaDOE launched a comprehensive initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness push, and targeted assistance for high-need districts to support better daily attendance.
Looking ahead to 2025, Georgia lawmakers approved legislation updating attendance requirements, prohibiting expulsion solely for absences. The new law calls for expanded reporting and aligns with diploma-earning programs offering alternative pathways for students.
By 2025, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio is about 14:1, better than the national average of 15:1. The lowest ratios are in preschool (13:1), while elementary and middle school grades both report 14:1; high schools average a higher 16:1.
