Attendance Matters!

Ninety-Five to Ninety-Nine percent of the students who attend HSoC. state the need to graduate early. However one cannot graduate if one is not in attendance.

This relationship between attendance and achievement may appear early in a child's school career. ... research shows that attendance is an essential factor in student achievement.
