Chronic absenteeism is still a significant concern in the state. In 2024, 20.7% of Georgia students missed 10% or more of school days, according to the Georgia Department of Education. To address the issue, GaDOE introduced a statewide initiative that includes a real-time attendance dashboard, public awareness campaign and focused support for schools with high needs to improve attendance rates.

Georgia lawmakers approved an updated school attendance law in 2025 that bars expulsions based only on absenteeism. The law also brings new reporting obligations and aligns with diploma programs offering alternative graduation paths. Details are available at Georgia General Assembly.

As of 2026, Georgia recorded a student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 14:1, surpassing the national ratio of 15:1.
