Over the past few years, we have implemented a variety of strategies aimed at boosting student engagement and attendance. By addressing the root causes of absenteeism, we have seen a remarkable shift in overall student participation. With a renewed focus on ensuring every student is present and thriving, our district has experienced a positive trend that highlights the effectiveness of these initiatives.
Chronic absenteeism, defined as missing 10% or more of instructional days, is a significant concern that can hinder student learning and achievement. View the latest findings to understand chronic absenteeism trends in the Sacramento City Unified School District from 2018 to 2023.
Our team recently presented an update to the Sacramento City School Board, showcasing the incredible progress we’ve made in boosting school attendance and sharing our plans for continuing to make a positive impact for years to come.
“Chronic absenteeism impacts all students—no matter their age. Students that miss just two days a month for any reason are more likely to not read at grade level, and more likely to not graduate.”
