Chronic absenteeism continues to affect Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of school days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. In response, the Georgia Department of Education began a statewide effort that includes a live attendance dashboard, outreach campaigns, and targeted help for districts with higher absenteeism rates.

Legislation adopted in 2025 updated state attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The law also introduced additional reporting duties and supports alternative diploma pathways for students.

By 2026, Georgia schools averaged a 14:1 student-to-teacher ratio, improving on the nationwide average of 15:1.
