Chronic absenteeism continues to pose a challenge in 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. To address this, GaDOE introduced statewide actions such as an attendance dashboard, a public outreach campaign, and assistance programs for high-need districts aimed at increasing daily attendance.

In 2025, Georgia legislators updated attendance laws to prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The changes also expand reporting obligations and support diploma pathways for students through alternative programs.

By 2026, Georgia’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, which outperformed the U.S. national average of 15:1.
