The number of students at Roger Williams who are chronically absent has decreased by 10% since the 2004-05 school year.

This chart shows chronic absenteeism over time for 6th through 8th graders in Roger Williams MS, the district of Providence, and the state as whole (public schools only) for students who were enrolled at least 30 days in that school. Here we see that chronic absenteeism is decreasing across the city, the state, and specifically at Roger Williams Middle School.
