After the pandemic, chronic absenteeism has continued to challenge Georgia schools, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, as reported by the Georgia Department of Education. In response, state officials initiated several programs including a real-time attendance dashboard, a public campaign, and targeted aid for districts needing increased attendance support.

Lawmakers in Georgia approved a bill in 2025 that revised school attendance statutes to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The legislation also introduced additional reporting and aligns with programs allowing alternative routes to graduation. Details are available here.

In 2026, the state reported an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which outperformed the national rate of 15:1.
