The Power of Attendance

Smart policy and implementation can ensure schools and communities collect, monitor and share attendance data. They also can motivate key stakeholders to work together to promote a culture of regular school attendance and intervene when chronic absence is a problem.
Time for Learning: An Exploratory Analysis of NAEP Data
http://www.nagb.org/content/nagb/assets/documents/commission/researchandresources/time-for-learning-naep-data-analysis.pdf
Students with higher rates of monthly absenteeism score disproportionately at
the Basic or below‐Basic levels of NAEP achievement for grades 4, 8 and 12.
About one‐quarter of below‐Basic students were absent three days or more a
month in 2011, which translates into missing more than five weeks of school over
a year. By contrast only one‐in-ten Advanced students were absent three or more
days a month.
