Nearly 7.5 Million U.S. Students are Chronically Absent, Missing 18 or More Days of School Each Year
Nearly 7.5 million students (K – 12th grade) are chronically
absent every school year – missing enough school to put them at
severe risk of dropping out or failing to graduate. Chronic
absenteeism, which is defined as missing at least 10 percent of
school days in a given year, or about 18 days, affects the
educational outcomes of millions of students.
Every absence, in any grade – excused or not – can impact a
child’s academic achievement. As early as 6th grade, missing 18 or
more days of school in a year puts a child’s high school graduation
at-risk. Missing just two days every month of the school year can
allow a child to fall behind, increasing the likelihood of dropping
out.
Research shows that students who attend school regularly in their
early school years are more likely to learn to read well by the
critical third grade milestone, score higher on standardized tests,
and graduate and go on to college than students who are chronically
absent. Education is crucial to breaking the cycle of poverty,
however chronic absenteeism is most prevalent among low-income
students. Regular attendance in lower grades is just as important as
it is in later years to ensure that a student stays on the path
toward graduation.
