Attendance Research
Embedded Files
Roughly one in four students in New York City is chronically absent. A chronically absent student is defined as having missed 10%, or a month of more of school, in a single year.
Attendance Matters. Chronic absence is a powerful early warning predictor of student performance. Research shows that students who attend regularly achieve greater success in school and life. Research also shows that supporting regular attendance reduces educational inequities.
This page includes publications and research conducted about chronic absenteeism.
