Chronic absenteeism remains a significant concern for Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, the department launched a statewide effort involving a real-time attendance dashboard, a campaign to raise public awareness, and targeted support for districts with high needs to improve attendance rates.
In 2025, legislators in Georgia updated school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The updates introduced new reporting obligations and provided more options for students to earn diplomas through alternative routes.
As of 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, surpassing the national average of 15:1.
