Chronic Absences - Student Analytics

Are Chronic Absences Concentrated in Specific Locations?

This metric surfaces where students who are chronically absent live in the community. Student addresses sync nightly with the Student Information System, are geo-coded, and then placed back onto the map.  The chronically absent classification includes all students whose attendance percentage for this school year is less than 90%. There are no restrictions regarding the number of days enrolled built into the metric; it includes all actively enrolled students regardless of the length of time they have been at the school or district.

The mapping metric does not support exporting or printing but does support student drills. Use the Zoom In ( +  ) and Zoom Out ( - ) tools, the scroll function on your pointer or keyboard, or right-click and drag the pointer to interact with the map. Narrow down the map until you see white dots; hover the pointer over the dots to see the number of students who live at that location.
