Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools in the aftermath of the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more days in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education. Efforts to address this include the launch of a statewide real-time attendance dashboard, along with a public campaign and strategic support aimed at districts most affected.

In 2025, legislation was passed in Georgia to update school attendance rules, prohibiting expulsions solely for absenteeism. The new law also includes further reporting procedures and is designed to align with already established diploma pathways.

As of 2026, the statewide average student-to-teacher ratio in Georgia was around 14:1, outpacing the national average of 15:1.
