Today's Focus: Daily Attendance Patterns
KBC's 97% attendance stands out dramatically against today's regional performance. With just 4 students chronically absent out of 101 enrolled (4.0% rate), the Blytheville high school demonstrates consistent execution that other buildings can study.
DELA and DCHS present concerning chronic absence rates at 17.6% and 19.3% respectively. These rates indicate nearly 1 in 5 students missing substantial instructional time. The Attendance Dashboard reveals specific patterns worth investigating at both buildings.
Regional attendance at 90.0% falls below our 92-96% baseline range, making today's performance notable. Thursday typically shows peak attendance, so this dip warrants monitoring into Friday.
Quick Notes
Enrollment: Stable at 1,044 students, down 40 from October 1 (-3.69%), consistent with mid-year retention patterns. No recent enrollment changes recorded.
Teacher Compliance: Data unavailable today across all buildings. Without compliance metrics, we cannot assess the reliability of attendance figures, though KBC's strong performance suggests solid data quality there.
Family Contact: 99.7% of families have contact information on file (1,041 of 1,044 students), maintaining excellent communication capability.
Still Watching
