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. The agency launched a statewide initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness effort, and extra support for high-need districts to encourage regular attendance.

In 2025, legislators in Georgia approved changes to state attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The revised law also introduces new reporting requirements and supports programs that offer alternative routes to earning a diploma.

Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio stood at about 14:1 as of 2026, surpassing the national average of 15:1.
