Chronic Absenteeism by School District, 2015-16

by | | 0

This layer presents data on chronic absenteeism from the U.S. Department of Education’s CRDC. A chronically absent student is one who misses 15 or more school days in a school year. A student is considered absent if they are not physically present on school grounds or participating in approved off-site instruction or related activities for at least half the school day.

  • Absences are counted when a student misses 50% or more of a school day.
  • Days with less than 50% absence are not counted.
  • The total number of absences reflects all school days missed, regardless of the reason (e.g., illness, suspension, or family responsibilities) and whether the absence is excused or unexcused.

School district data are compiled from school-level records. Calculated percentages represent chronic absenteeism only for schools within the district that have valid, unsuppressed data. For more details, refer to the CRDC’s definition of Chronic Student Absenteeism.
