The Georgia Department of Education reports chronic absenteeism remains prevalent after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students missing 10% or more of classes in 2024.

In 2025, Georgia legislators passed a law modifying attendance policies to prohibit expulsion based only on absenteeism. The updated law also requires new reporting measures and is designed to work with programs that help students earn diplomas through alternative options.
By 2026, Georgia recorded an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 14:1, which outperforms the national average of 15:1.
