However, the rate of improvement has slowed considerably, signaling a need for continued and expanded intervention strategies\u2014particularly for older students, who remain the most affected by pandemic-related disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Insights into Student Attendance in 2024-25:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The overall daily attendance rate for grades PK-12 this year is 93.45%\u2014close to pre-pandemic norms<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>While overall attendance rates have improved by 0.31% this year, the growth rate has lost momentum <\/strong>compared to the 1.16% increase from 2022-23 to 2023-24<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Grades 10\u201312<\/strong> <strong>show a regression in the first half of the school year <\/strong>with attendance rates between .04% and .16% lower than last year\u2014and an increase in chronic absenteeism of 1.90% compared to last year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Younger students (PK\u20134) are nearing pre-pandemic attendance levels,<\/strong> with a 93.82% attendance rate and an improvement rate of .56%\u2014showing the strongest recovery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Seventh grade emerges as a \u2018tipping point,\u2019<\/strong> where attendance rates begin to drop and chronic absenteeism starts rising, echoing national trends of <strong>growing middle school disengagement<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past three years, attendance in U.S. schools has significantly declined with only gradual improvements nationwide. Before COVID-19, national attendance rates for PK-12 averaged <a href=\"https:\/\/nces.ed.gov\/programs\/digest\/d19\/tables\/dt19_203.90.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">94%<\/a>, but most recently dropped to <a href=\"https:\/\/nces.ed.gov\/whatsnew\/press_releases\/1_18_2024.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">90%<\/a>, according to NCES. In contrast, SchoolStatus reports a mid-year 2024-25 daily attendance rate of 93.45%, demonstrating that districts using proactive attendance interventions and strategies are seeing more sustained improvements compared to the national average despite signs of potential regression for older students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This snapshot follows new research from <a href=\"https:\/\/nces.ed.gov\/nationsreportcard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCES\u2019 NAEP Report<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/educationrecoveryscorecard.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Education Recovery Scorecard<\/a> that underscores the continued delay in academic recovery and highlights chronic absenteeism as a key driver of stalled progress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The national conversation on chronic absenteeism has largely focused on the long-term consequences of learning loss, but what\u2019s equally important is work to get students back into classrooms and engaged,&#8221; said Dr. Joy Smithson, Data Scientist at SchoolStatus. &#8220;Districts using proactive strategies\u2014like family engagement and proactive, positive outreach\u2014are seeing the biggest attendance gains. Our mid-year data confirms that while younger students are on track, older students need renewed focus and support. This data trend underscores the need for sustained and tailored strategies to support consistent student attendance across all grade levels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recommendations for the Remainder of the 2024-25 School Year<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Districts that shift their focus to positive engagement strategies, compared to traditional punitive measures, are more likely to see significant gains in student attendance. As a trusted leader in attendance management, SchoolStatus provides the following four key recommendations for districts to implement throughout the remaining school year and beyond:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prevention initiatives and family engagement <\/strong>to strengthen school-home relationships<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Early warning systems<\/strong> <strong>to identify at-risk students<\/strong> before they reach chronic absenteeism levels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Targeted outreach and intervention strategies<\/strong> to proactively address attendance concerns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Direct service coordination<\/strong> to support students facing barriers to consistent attendance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full <em>Mid-Year K-12 Attendance Snapshot<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolstatus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SchoolStatus_Mid-Year-Attendance-Trends_2024-25.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Media Contact:<br><\/strong>Sydney Schultice<br><a href=\"mailto:sstressman@0to5.com\">sstressman@0to5.com<\/a><br>609-238-6663<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SchoolStatus\u2019 mid-year attendance snapshot analyzes data and trends from more than one million students over three years.
