Chronic absenteeism continues to affect Georgia schools following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, per the Georgia Department of Education. The GaDOE responded with a statewide plan including a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted support to high-need districts to improve daily attendance rates.

Georgia lawmakers approved a bill in 2025 to revise school attendance policies, banning expulsions solely based on absenteeism. This legislation includes new reporting guidelines and supports alternative paths for students to earn diplomas.

Georgia maintained a student-to-teacher ratio near 14:1 as of 2026, according to state data, surpassing the national average of 15:1.
