About
This statistic shows the percentage of total students in a school district who are chronically absent, or missing 10% or more of the school year. Note: Data is not available for 2020 or 2021. During the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic years, the State Department of Education requested a waiver of accountability which would amend some reporting requirements, including attendance, due to disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic. The requests were approved by the U.S. Department of Education. More information is available in the source details.
