Chronic absenteeism has continued to challenge Georgia schools since 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, the state launched efforts such as a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness initiative, and targeted support for districts with the greatest needs to improve attendance.
In 2025, state legislators revised school attendance laws to prohibit expulsions based solely on absenteeism. The legislation also instituted additional reporting and supports diploma completion through alternate pathways.
By 2026, Georgia maintained a roughly 14:1 student-to-teacher ratio, which outperformed the national average ratio of 15:1.
