% Students in the School 'At-Risk'
% Students in the School Determined To Be "At -Risk" Based on Having 3+ Risk Factors
Now, we review risk-factor prevalence among students at individual high schools.
This chart is sorted by the percentage of students in each high school whom we have labeled "at risk."
Note that the map shows us that the schools with high levels of at-risk kids are concentrated in the urban districts.
If we change the vertical axis to consider prior-year chronic absenteeism, we find that some schools need to consider why such a high percentage of their students are not coming to school. Remember that chronic absenteeism puts a student at high risk for dropping out and DCYF-schools involvement.
