ATTENDANCE MATTERS
A student who misses 10% of the school year—just two days per month—is identified as chronically absent.
Often these absences are tied to health problems, such as asthma, diabetes, and oral and mental health issues.
Children who live in communities with high levels of poverty are four times more likely to be chronically absent.
Children who are chronically absent in the early grades are more than three times more likely to drop out of high school.
