Chronic absenteeism continues to affect Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing at least 10% of school days in 2024, the Georgia Department of Education reported.

For 2025, Georgia lawmakers approved revisions to attendance statutes making expulsion for absenteeism alone unlawful. The new rules set out extra reporting duties and support diploma programs using alternative pathways.
Georgia held an average student-to-teacher ratio of 14:1 in 2026, which compares favorably to the national average of 15:1.
