Chronic absenteeism

Over the past four years, the district’s chronic absentee rate — defined as missing 10% or more of the school year — has more than doubled. According to the district, about 2 of 3 African American and Pacific Islander students were chronically absent during the 2021-22 school year, while about 1 of 2 Latino students were chronically absent. Nearly half of all homeless students were chronically absent that year as well.
