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.

The Social Ecology Model: Individual Indicators

Individual indicators of consistent attendance can be sub-divided into three groups:

  • Prior Attendance (attendance rate, excused vs. unexcused absences, suspensions, attendance in out-of-school programs, school mobility, etc.)

  • Prior Academic Performance (grade retention, academic self-concept, test performance, special education status, school engagement, etc.)

  • Behavioral Development (health status, pro-social behavior, social competence, mental stability)
