Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant problem in Georgia following the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, reports the Georgia Department of Education. To address this, GaDOE has initiated several strategies statewide, such as a real-time attendance dashboard, a broad public awareness effort, and extra assistance for districts with elevated needs to increase daily attendance numbers.

Georgia legislators passed a bill in 2025 revising school attendance policies, prohibiting expulsions that result solely from absenteeism. The measure also introduces new reporting standards and coordinates with other programs that help students pursue alternative pathways to graduation. Details about the law are available here.

In 2026, Georgia reported an average student-teacher ratio of about 14:1, better than the national average of 15:1.
