Why Attendance Matters
Student Attendance = Student Success
Every School Day COUNTS!
A missed school day is a lost opportunity for students to learn.
Goal: 100% Attendance
- Students with good attendance do better in school, have more friends, like school and are more likely to graduate.
-
Successful students miss 8 or fewer days of school per year.
Goal: 100% Graduation
- School attendance is the strongest predictor of High School Graduation.
- 87% of high school students who missed less than 8 days of school per year graduated on time.
- A high school graduate will earn about $300,000 more than a high school dropout over a lifetime. A college graduate will earn about $1,000,000 more than a high school dropout over a lifetime.
- High School dropouts are more likely to be unemployed, live in poverty, receive public assistance and go to prison.
