Sacramento County students have the worst chronic absentee rate in the region and a higher rate than all but two of the other 20 largest counties in California – Sonoma and San Joaquin.A chart accompanying the article showed that the worst district attendance-wise at 20.1% of its students miss at least 10% of their classes last school year. The smallest percentage shown was an elementary school district with only 5.8% of its students missing 10% or more of their classes; with the exception of that one elementary district, the 9 other districts on the chart were either unified or high school districts.
According to new state data, 14.8 percent of Sacramento County students missed one-tenth of their classes last school year. By comparison, 10.8 percent of students statewide missed that many classes.
Education, politics, and anything else that catches my attention.
