The SIRS-116 Attendance Rate for Accountability Report allows districts and schools to view data they reported in the Student Information Repository System (SIRS) that will be used to determine the Attendance Rate Index at the elementary/middle level (grades 1-8 and ungraded age equivalent) and the secondary level (grades 9-12 and ungraded age equivalent). Attendance Rate is an accountability measure used to determine accountability status under New York State’s State Plan to comply with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
