Where This Data Comes From

Students are included if they:

  • Increase their attendance by 3% or more compared to last year
  • Reach an attendance rate of at least 90% this year

Why This Matters

Regular attendance is critical for learning. Students in Options schools or detention centers may have felt disconnected from their previous schools or had trouble attending regularly. Because of these challenges, this measure focuses on growth and tracks the progress students are making toward being in class more often.
