Where This Data Comes From

Daily Attendance Records: Whether students are marked as present or absent each day

Why This Matters

Regular attendance is critical for learning. Students who miss too much school are more likely to fall behind in reading, have lower grades, and may be less likely to graduate.

  • In Pre-K and early grades, chronic absence predicts future attendance problems.
  • By 6th grade, it is one of three early signs a student may drop out later.
  • By 9th grade, attendance is an even stronger predictor of graduation than 8th grade test scores.

What It Can & Cannot Tell You

It Can Tell You:

  • Can show if large groups of students are missing too much school.
  • Can highlight schools or grade levels where extra support may be needed.

It Cannot Tell You:

  • Cannot explain why students are absent (health, transportation, safety, family needs).
  • Cannot show how many days were excused absences (like being sick)—this measure includes excused absences.
