Chronic absenteeism has persisted as a significant challenge for Georgia schools in the years following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more days in 2024, as reported by the Georgia Department of Education. To address the issue, GaDOE introduced a statewide plan that features a real-time attendance dashboard, an outreach campaign, and support for school districts facing higher needs to encourage regular student attendance.

In 2025, Georgia legislators updated state attendance laws to prohibit expulsion of students solely for absenteeism. The new law also involves added reporting guidelines and improved coordination with alternative programs assisting students in obtaining a diploma.

Georgia recorded an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1 as of 2026, as reported by Public School Review, which is below the national norm of 15:1.
