Chronic absenteeism remains a significant challenge for 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. Efforts to improve daily attendance include a new statewide initiative, a public awareness campaign, a real-time attendance dashboard, and focused assistance for districts with the greatest needs, according to GaDOE.

In 2025, state lawmakers adopted updated attendance laws that prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The law also introduces further reporting requirements and supports pathways for students pursuing alternative diploma options.

By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was at about 14:1, more favorable than the national ratio of 15:1.
