[quote=Anonymous]If D.C. were a state, it would have one of the highest rates of chronic absenteeism in the country (Alaska had the highest average, at 48.6%). Across K-12, 43% of District students were chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year, and 37% were truant. Absenteeism is especially bad among high school students, 60% of whom were chronically absent. And those averages mask significantly higher rates in some schools, particularly those in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Rates for most DCPS high schools east of the river ranged from just under 80% to near 90% (a whopping 89.3% were chronically absent at Ballou High in Ward 8). https://wamu.org/story/24/03/20/how-is-dc-addressing-chronic-absenteeism/[/quote]
