Attendance Attendance

Regular attendance is closely linked to how well students do in school and whether they graduate. Chronic absence—missing 10% or more of school days for any reason—can have serious effects. It may lead to difficulties in learning to read by third grade, which can result in being held back and a lower graduation rate.

Attendance Data

  • Overall Attendance Average for the Year: 90.9%
  • Percent of Chronically Absent Students: 34.6%


Family Support Matters! Every Minute Matters!

Behavior Behavior

What is a Behavior Call or Incident?

A call may be made for multiple reasons. The most common reason is "disruption".

  • For young students, this may be screaming, hitting, loud crying, etc.
  • For older students, this may be rough horseplay, cursing, or being disrespectful to others.
