Research shows that inconsistent attendance makes learning challenging.
The United States Department of Education notes:
- Children who are chronically absent in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade are much less likely to read at grade level by third grade.
- Students who cannot read at grade level by the end of third grade are four times more likely than proficient readers to drop out of high school.
- Irregular attendance can be a better predictor of whether students will drop out before graduation than test scores.
