Priority Indicators of Middle School Attendance

Here we summarize the indicators of highest priority for middle school attendance. As with the elementary data, there are indicators that we cannot currently examine, including peer relations, school belongingness, and truancy as differentiated from other unexcused absences. Although these are identified as important indicators, the indicators we do examine in this story (identified in bold in the chart above) provide a preliminary picture of factors affecting middle school attendance, focusing particularly on Roger Williams.
