CYC: A Middle School Attendance Story

Essential Question:
What are the primary factors that affect student attendance in Middle School?

Part two of the working data story for and with the Providence Mayor's Children and Youth Cabinet. The primary goal of this part of the story is to understand factors affecting attendance in middle school. Our focus school is Roger Williams Middle School.

Roger Williams by Student Characteristics

The previous several pages provided a snapshot of chronic absenteeism at the middle school level. The next few will focus on individual and family & peer contexts specifically at Roger Williams Middle School, including

  • Prior attendance
  • Suspensions
  • Prior grade retention
  • Prior academic performance
  • Family poverty
  • Prior mobility

As school and community indicators become available that are relevant to attendance, they will be added to the story.
