Chronic Absenteeism for Students with Medicaid
This indicator is archived and is no longer being updated. Click to learn more
Chronic absenteeism for K-12 students in Ohio is defined as missing 10% or more of instructional time for any reason.
Why is this important?
Chronic absenteeism is linked to negative educational outcomes. Students who miss 10% or more of instructional time are more likely to be below grade level in academic achievement and are less likely to graduate. This impacts the individual and the community/workforce.
