A holistic approach to preventing high school absenteeism

When a student is absent from school, they miss out on learning and their social bonds suffer as well. Repeated missed days compound these problems, making it hard to catch up academically and easy to feel left out socially, and lead to anxiety and other mental health challenges when students do return to school.

Chronic absenteeism not only leads to lower grades and graduation rates, it is linked to higher risk of experiencing poverty or the criminal justice system. So presenting absenteeism must be fundamental to any strategy for boosting educational outcomes and supporting the most vulnerable students.
