CYC: A High School Attendance Story

Essential Question:
What are the primary factors that affect student attendance in high school?

Final installment of the working data story for and with the Providence Children and Youth Cabinet. Our focus high schools are the Providence Academy of International Studies (PAIS) and William B. Cooley, Sr. Health & Science Technology High School (Cooley).

Introduction

The goals of the data story include:

  1. Use data to increase our understanding of what strategies we need to focus on to improve outcomes;
  2. Understand the issues we will need to focus on to create an integrated data system at the individual level, including data gaps, confidentiality issues, and technical issues;
  3. Understand factors affecting attendance at three grade levels and use data story to inform work on attendance.

Beginning in the 2011‐2012 school year, the Sanchez Complex will be considered one school. For the purposes of this story, we have added together student data from PAIS and Cooley in most places.
