Chronic absenteeism has continued to be a challenge for Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, the department introduced a statewide initiative featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted assistance for districts with higher needs to improve attendance.

Georgia lawmakers approved legislation in 2025 updating school attendance regulations to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The new law also introduces additional reporting requirements and supports pathways for students to earn diplomas through alternative methods.

As of 2026, Georgia held an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which is lower than the U.S. average of 15:1.
