Missing School = Missing Out

 

 

 

Missed school days are missed opportunities to learn.

Students who miss an average of 2 days a month are less likely to:

  • Read on grade level by 3rd grade
  • Pass STAAR tests in middle school
  • Stay on track for graduation in high school

Chronic absenteeism is a better predictor of whether a student will drop out before graduation than test scores.
