Attendance Overview
Average attendance measures the total present students divided by the total number of enrollment days for a specific time period. Students are either fully present, present for a half day, or fully absent on any given day based on the number of minutes they are within the school building. Average attendance includes both excused and unexcused absences.
It is important to note that average attendance is not a student-centric metric, instead looking at whole school/district trends. For a more student-focused metric, see Chronic Absenteeism below.
Chronic Absenteeism Overview
Chronic absenteeism is a more student-centric metric for attendance, measuring the percentage of students that fall into distinct attendance categories. It is independent of excused/unexcused absences and is based solely on how often the individual student is in the school building.
Students will receive a chronic absenteeism status of either Not Chronically Absent (average attendance greater than 95%), At Risk (greater than 90%), or Chronically Absent (less than 90%). Because this metric looks at individual students' attendance, we can see the underlying student distribution that makes up the average attendance.
On-Track Overview
On-Track is a research-validated metric that comes from the University of Chicago's Consortium on School Research. It is based on a student's core GPA (classes such as reading, writing, math, science, etc.) and their individual average attendance. On-track status leaving 8th grade is strongly linked to 4-year high school graduation rates.
Students can be classified into four statuses:
- On-Track: GPA ≥ 3.0 and attendance ≥ 90%.
- Attendance Support: GPA ≥ 3.0 but attendance < 90%.
- Academic Support: GPA < 3.0 but attendance ≥ 90%.
- Off Track: GPA < 3.0 and attendance < 90%.
