Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant concern in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. The department launched a statewide initiative providing a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted help for high-need districts to promote daily attendance.

In 2025, state lawmakers in Georgia revised attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely due to absenteeism. The changes also require additional reporting and support pathways to help students graduate through alternative options.

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