Smarter Balanced Assessment Trends

% Passing

• Absenteeism in the first month of school can predict poor attendance throughout the school year.

• Half the students who miss 2-4 days in September

go on to miss nearly a month of school. • Research shows that missing 10 percent of the

school negatively affects a student’s academic performance.

• The academic impact of missing that much school

is the same whether the absences are excused or unexcused.
