Chronic absenteeism continues to challenge Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, based on the latest Georgia Department of Education data. To address this, the department introduced a statewide plan that features a real-time attendance dashboard, increased public awareness efforts, and specialized resources for wider attendance in high-need districts.
By 2025, Georgia legislators approved an update to school attendance rules, prohibiting expulsions that are solely for absenteeism. The revised law also established additional reporting obligations and expanded guidance for students pursuing alternative diploma pathways.
Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio of 14:1 as of 2026, as noted by Public School Review. This ratio remains better than the national average of 15:1.
