Chronic absenteeism is a continuing concern in Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, based on Georgia Department of Education data. GaDOE has responded by rolling out a statewide initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and tailored supports for districts with high needs to improve attendance rates.

In 2025, a new law in Georgia updated school attendance policies by prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The updated law also introduces additional reporting measures and aligns with programs helping students earn diplomas through alternative tracks.

By 2026, the average student-to-teacher ratio statewide in Georgia was approximately 14:1, which is lower than the national average ratio of 15:1.
