Today's Focus: Chronic Absence Patterns

Drilling into the 117 students currently below 90% attendance reveals concentrated concerns at the secondary level, particularly at DCHS where 38 students (16.8%) are chronically absent.

Students at Critical Attendance Levels (<80%):

  • DCHS: Jakiya Gum (11th) at 33.3% attendance (13 of 39 days) and Zy'rielle Allen (9th) at 61.3% (46 of 75 days) represent the most severe cases. Both have shown zero attendance over the past 10 school days, suggesting potential withdrawal candidates or family crises requiring intervention.
  • DELA: Ahmong Barefield (3rd) at 67.3% and Marlaysia Crockett (2nd) at 68% are early elementary students with concerning patterns. Jada Lee (5th) has been absent for all 10 recent school days despite a YTD rate of 73.3%.
  • BCPS: The Barnes siblings (Jayceon, 2nd and Jason, 5th) both sit at 79-80% attendance, suggesting a family-level intervention opportunity.

Recent Declines Worth Monitoring:

Eight students with acceptable YTD rates (>80%) have attendance below 40% over the past 10 days, including Chance Burks (BCPS, 3rd) and Serenity Tramble (BCPS, 2nd) who both dropped from 90%+ YTD to 40% recent attendance. These represent potential early-stage chronic absence cases if the pattern continues post-holidays.

Quick Notes

Enrollment: Stable at 1,066 (-19 from Oct 1). No new withdrawals or enrollments yesterday. Tracking expected attrition season patterns.

Teacher Compliance: KBC remains at critical levels (10.3%), meaning attendance data for that campus is unreliable (unmarked students default to present). BCPS, DCHS, and DELA all above 75%, providing trustworthy attendance data.

Family Contact Coverage: 99.6% of families (1,062 of 1,066 students) have email or phone on file. Four DELA families remain unreachable.
