Of students who were chronically absent in 2010-11, just 55% achieved proficient in reading in the previous year compared to 62% of students in the lowest absence category.

This bar graph shows the percentage of students who scored "Proficient" or "Proficient with Distinction" on the reading NECAP exam in the previous year (2009-10). In high school, NECAP is given in the 11th grade. Therefore, this graph shows 12th grade students at Cooley and PAIS in 2010-2011 who took the NECAP in 2009-2010.

Note: Students who are Limited English Proficiency (LEP), took an alternative assessment, enrolled after the exam date, or were otherwise designated "non-tested" are not included.
