Chronic Absenteeism & The Arts Report
Chronic Absenteeism & The Arts Report
In March 2024, Quadrant Research completed a statistical review on student-level data which resulted in the Chronic Absenteeism and the Arts in Virginia Public Schools report. The report demonstrates a significant correlation between “career arts” students (those enrolled in the arts all four years of high school) and improved chronic absenteeism rates. Seniors from each year since 2020 who are “career arts” students show between 32.3% and 50.8% lower chronic absenteeism rates than those who are not. These findings held true when comparing the data across multiple key variables such as race/ethnicity, sex, free/reduced lunch, and English language learners, indicating a strong correlation between career arts students and lower chronic absenteeism rates.
