Concerns about the absenteeism of Arizona high school students
Oct. 29
Helios launched its first chronic absenteeism report on high school students. More than 34% of high school students are chronically absent, meaning they miss 10 or more days out of a school year. Students who are in low-income areas have the highest rates of absenteeism. Also, online high school students had the highest rate of absences.
Lori Masseur, Early Learning Director, Read On, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more on these statistics associated with chronic absenteeism.
