Nearly 15% of all students who were chronically absent in 2010-11 had at least two school enrollments the previous year.

This graph shows the percent of students that had two or more school enrollments in the 2009-10 school year. The number of enrollments is used as a proxy for mobility in schools. For the 2010-11 year, nearly 15% of students who were chronically absent had two or more school enrollments in the previous year; 8% of students with low or moderate absences had been enrolled in two or more schools.

Although only 15% of chronically absent students in 2010-2011 had high mobility, it is nearly twice the rate at which low/moderate attenders had high mobility (15% vs. 8%).
