Chronic absenteeism remains a significant challenge for Georgia schools since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students absent for 10% or more days during 2024, as reported by the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, the state launched a statewide campaign, featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, an awareness effort, and targeted aid for districts with high needs to improve average daily attendance.

In 2025, legislators in Georgia updated the attendance law to prohibit expulsion on the sole basis of absenteeism. The law also introduces additional reporting rules and aligns with support programs that provide alternative routes toward earning a diploma.

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