Using our risk factors, this chart compares the 737 students whom we know enrolled in DCYF schools in 2008-2009 (based on RIDE enrollment data), to those who did not.
By changing the indicator on the bar chart, we can see that 73% of the DCYF enrollees were chronically absent in the year prior to their enrollment in a DCYF school, compared with 21% of the non-enrollees.
Similarly, 28% of the DCYF enrollees attended 3 or more schools within a single school year (excessively mobile), compared with just under 2% of the non-enrollees.
The two groups were found to be significantly different (p<.01) for each of the risk factors. Contact rlee@provplan.org for specific t-statistics, dfs, std. errors and confidence intervals.
