When students attend class, they’re more likely to succeed. In fact, attendance is one of the most important factors in student success. Improved attendance rates directly connect to better academics and graduation rates.
But when attendance decreases, student performance wanes. Right now, one in seven U.S. students struggle to attend school consistently. Missing just two school days each month can negatively impact academic performance, and chronically absent students (missing 15 or more days in a school year) are less likely to graduate on time. As a result, graduation rates have dropped for the first time in 15 years.
