GPRA 3.1 Students successfully transition from middle school grades to high school: 3.1 Attendance rate of students in 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th grade as defined by average daily attendance.

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.

Local Definition. Attendance rate is calculated as the total # of days in attendance for all students divided by the total days enrolled for all students.
