Chronic absenteeism is still a concern for Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education said. To address this, GaDOE rolled out a statewide strategy with an attendance dashboard, outreach campaign, and focused assistance to districts with greater challenges in student attendance.

In 2025, Georgia legislators revised school attendance laws, prohibiting expulsions based solely on absenteeism. The update also introduced new reporting standards and supports programs enabling alternative diploma paths for students.

By 2026, the state’s average student-to-teacher ratio was about 14:1, according to Georgia Public School Review, which is better than the nationwide average of 15:1.
