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


The data subcommittee prioritized the following individual (tier 1) indicators based on the research review and data availability:

  • Prior attendance by grade (moderate, chronic, excessive, consecutive, suspensions)

  • Preschool participation - not yet available

  • Child has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or is an English language learner (ELL)

  • Academic performance (by grade)

Throughout the next several pages, you'll see how these are associated with attendance at Bailey.
