Sixth graders at Rodger Williams are less likely to be chronically absent than are students in seventh or eight grade.

This bar graph shows chronic absenteeism by grade levels 6th, 7th, and 8th at Roger Williams Middle School, for students who were enrolled at least 30 days in that school year. We can see here that the percentage of students who miss 10% or more of school varies from year to year, but that sixth graders tend to have the lowest rates of chronic absenteeism.
