Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant post-pandemic challenge for Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported. In response, the department launched a statewide initiative with a real-time attendance dashboard, public outreach, and targeted support for districts with greater needs to increase attendance rates.

In 2025, Georgia updated its school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion strictly for absenteeism, while adding more reporting requirements and expanding diploma options through alternative programs.

Georgia’s student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1 as of 2026, according to state data, which compares favorably to the national ratio of 15:1.
