Chronic absenteeism continues to be a significant concern for Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, as reported by the Georgia Department of Education. To address the issue, the agency rolled out a statewide initiative that features a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness campaign, and targeted aid for high-need districts to increase daily attendance.

In 2025, Georgia passed new legislation revising school attendance laws to prohibit expulsion solely for absenteeism. The law introduces updated reporting standards and aims to support programs that provide students with alternative diploma pathways.

By 2026, Georgia recorded an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, surpassing the national average of 15:1.
