Why Attendance Matters
Early warning sign: Missing just two to four days in September can predict chronic absence across the entire school year.
Reading skills: Frequent absences in kindergarten and 1st grade make it much harder to learn how to read.
Dropout risk: By 6th grade, chronic absence becomes a key indicator that a student may drop out.
Graduation rates: By 9th grade, attendance records predict on-time graduation better than middle school test scores
