Chronic absenteeism has remained a significant concern in Georgia schools following 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 this, GaDOE introduced several measures, such as a real-time attendance dashboard, a statewide public awareness effort, and targeted support for districts with higher needs to improve attendance.

In 2025, Georgia lawmakers modified school attendance regulations, prohibiting expulsion solely based on absenteeism. The updated law also establishes enhanced reporting requirements and supports alternative pathways to graduation.

By 2026, Georgia reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, an improvement over the national ratio of 15:1.
