Chronic absenteeism continues to be a challenge in Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reports. To address this, GaDOE has launched a statewide strategy including an attendance dashboard, awareness efforts, and focused aid for high-need districts to improve daily attendance.

In 2025, Georgia legislators approved a law updating attendance regulations to prohibit expulsion based solely on absenteeism. The law adds new data reporting duties and aligns with initiatives allowing students alternate routes to a diploma.

As of 2026, Georgia’s student-to-teacher ratio averaged near 14:1, better than the national average of 15:1.
