Class of 2009: Absenteeism During High School
This is a year-by-year snapshot of absenteeism for the class of 2009, which is the cohort examined in this story.
In this story we follow a cohort of entering 9th grade students from their freshman year in 2005-06 through high school and into post-secondary institutions. While year-by-year snapshots are helpful, we are more interested in students' overall high school absenteeism. Therefore, at each milestone we examine the correlation between their average high school absence rate and various outcomes.
Students who left the cohort include those who transferred out of the state or to a private school, were retained in a previous grade, or were not enrolled for at least 30 days.
