Why We Do
What We Do
Students who live in communities with high levels of poverty are 4x more likely to be chronically absent. Reasons for this include unstable housing, unreliable transportation, and a lack of access to health care.
By 6th grade, chronic absence becomes a leading indicator that a student will drop out of high school. High school dropouts are more than 8x as likely to commit crimes and serve prison time. (www.socialsolutions.com)
