After the pandemic, chronic absenteeism remains a significant challenge for Georgia schools. In 2024, 20.7% of students missed 10% or more of their school days, according to the state education department. The Georgia Department of Education responded with efforts such as a real-time attendance dashboard, a new public awareness campaign, and specialized support to improve daily attendance in the most affected districts.
In 2025, Georgia lawmakers approved updates to school attendance legislation, making it illegal to expel a student solely on the basis of absenteeism. The new law also introduces additional reporting requirements and expands alternative diploma pathways for students.
By 2026, Georgia reported an average student–teacher ratio of about 14:1, which compared favorably to the national average of 15:1.
