GPRA 3.2 Chronic absenteeism rate of students in 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th grades

Definition. Average daily attendance (ADA) is typically used by school districts to measure school attendance and it is required under the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015. Researchers have identified that chronic absenteeism, or those students who miss 10 percent or more of school days, is a strong predictor for academic risk and school dropout (see literature review, below). For GPRA 3, Promise Neighborhoods should collect the average daily attendance and chronic absenteeism rates for 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th grades in each of the target Promise Neighborhood schools.
