Attendance Facts:

• Over 8 million U.S. students miss nearly a month of school each academic year.

• Research shows that missing 10 percent of the school year, or 18 school days, negatively impacts a student's academic performance. That's just 2 days a month!

• Poor attendance can influence whether children read proficiently by the 3rd grade.

• When students improve their attendance rates, they improve their chances for academic success as well as ability to graduate from high school on time.

• Attendance improves when schools engage students and parents in positive ways.
