  • Attendance matters for success in school and in life, and absences can easily add up to academic trouble.

    At HISD, missing more than 10 percent (or 17 days) of school a year can lead to a student not receiving a grade or being retained, but more importantly, it represents lost time in the classroom and a lost opportunity to learn.

    • A child is considered chronically absent if they miss two or more days a month. That includes unexcused and excused absences.
    • Attendance matters as early as kindergarten. Studies show that children who miss too many days in kindergarten and first grade have trouble mastering reading.
    • By grade 6, chronic absence is a proven warning sign that a student is at risk of dropping out.
    • By grade 9, good attendance can predict graduations rates even better than eighth-grade test scores.
    • Attendance also affects a school’s budget. When students miss class, their campus’ average daily attendance rate drops, which can reduce the funding it receives to support its programs.
