Chronic absenteeism remains a concern since the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reports. In response, the department has created a statewide attendance campaign that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, public education efforts, and focused support for communities most in need in order to improve attendance rates.

In 2025, Georgia legislators enacted changes to attendance policies that prohibit expulsion based solely on absences. The revised law further establishes enhanced reporting rules and support for graduation pathway programs.

By 2026, Georgia maintained an average student-to-teacher ratio near 14:1, outpacing the national average of 15:1.
