This chart shows the same chronic-absenteeism data as we saw on the previous chart. But on this scatterplot, the horizontal axis sorts schools by reading proficiency. The colors, blue to brown, indicate the percentage of students at-risk from low risk (blue) to high risk (brown).
If we change the vertical axis to our Maternal Health Risks indicator (data provided by HEALTH), we see that students living in neighborhoods with high concentrations of maternal risk factors also tend to go to high-poverty schools. Of course, there is little or nothing a school can do about maternal health risks.
