| Abstract: | The article focuses on research from the Everyone Graduates Center at Johns Hopkins University examining chronic absenteeism trends in U.S. school districts following the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that 52.5% of districts experienced substantial increases—defined as more than a 10 percentage-point rise—in chronic absenteeism between the 2017-18 or 2018-19 school years and 2021-22, with only 13% of these districts returning to near pre-pandemic levels by the 2024-25 school year. The research analyzed data from 8,586 districts across 34 states and the District of Columbia, highlighting that recovery rates were generally low, especially in larger districts, while about one in five rural and small districts managed to bounce back. This study underscores the widespread and persistent impact of the pandemic on student attendance. [Extracted from the article] |
