MCYC: An Elementary School Attendance Story

Essential Question:
What are the key factors contributing to attendance in elementary school?

A data story for and with the Providence Mayor's Children and Youth Cabinet. The primary goal of the story is to understand factors affecting attendance in elementary school. Our focus school is Bailey Elementary.

Missing Key Factors

There are many factors that contribute to attendance in elementary school. Some of the key individual and interpersonal indicators that are missing from this story at this point include:

  • Health status (lead poisoning, asthma, doctor's visits)
  • Attendance at community programs
  • Bullying
  • Transportation
  • Family Crisis/Stressors

In addition, we have yet to include some of the school and community factors that the data subcommittee prioritized. Many of these will be available later this year. They include:

  • Teacher engagement
  • Family involvement in school
  • Neighborhood safety
