Truancy vs Chronic Absenteeism

Truancy & Chronic Absenteeism Hurts Students' Academic Success!

    • Kindergarten and 1st grade students are 3 times less likely to read proficiently by 3rd grade compared to their friends/peers who regularly attend school.
    • 30% of first-year high school students who received As and Bs in 8th grade, but are chronically absent in 9th grade, fail one or more classes.
    • Elementary students who experience 1 or more years of chronic absence are close to 6 times more likely to continue to be chronically absent during middle school.
