Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant problem in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, GaDOE introduced a statewide effort featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, awareness initiatives, and focused support for districts in greatest need to encourage daily attendance.

In 2025, Georgia legislators approved an update to school attendance laws eliminating expulsion as a consequence exclusively for absenteeism. The legislation also incorporates new reporting rules and coordinates with programs supporting diploma achievement through alternative means.

By 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which is below the national average of 15:1.
