Chronic absenteeism persists as a key concern 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. To address this, GaDOE started a statewide drive featuring a real-time attendance dashboard, a new awareness campaign, and targeted support for districts with higher needs.

In 2025, Georgia legislators updated attendance laws, prohibiting expulsion solely for absenteeism. The new law also introduces further reporting obligations and is coordinated with programs supporting alternative diploma pathways.

By 2026, Georgia’s average student-teacher ratio stood at around 14:1, which is stronger than the national average of 15:1.
