How Absenteeism Effects Your Child's Academic Progress
- Chronic absenteeism, missing more than 20 days of a school year, is an early indicator of disengagement.
- Students who missed 2 to 4 days in September are 5 times more likely than those who missed fewer than 2 days to be chronically absent for the year.
- Students don’t learn as much when they miss too much school, but few realize how many students are at risk academically in the early grades due to absenteeism or how quickly absences can add up to too much lost instructional time.
- A growing body of research documents how many youngsters are chronically absent, meaning they miss 10 percent or more of the school year due to excused or unexcused absences. The research also shows how these missed days as early as preschool translate into weaker reading skills.
