PRELIMINARY AVERAGE ATTENDANCE Trends

Pre-Pandemic (2019-20) to Return to In-Person Learning (2021-22)

Grades K-12 Unmatched Students

Source: Synergy Daily Attendance Tables. �Definition: For 2019-20, school year ends on 2/28/2020. All analyses should keep these time periods in mind.

Data Observations

​

​

Overall, Average Attendance decreased from 2019-20 to 2021-22

​

Significant decreases in Average Attendance are observed among African American (-8%) and Pacific Islander students (-11%), widening the gap as compared to other student groups (about 80% vs. 90% or higher).

PRELIMINARY 3-Year Chronic Absenteeism Rates (< 90% Avg Attendance/student)

Pre-Pandemic (2019-20) to Return to In-Person Learning (2021-22)

Grades K-12 Unmatched Students

Data Observations

​

In comparing Attendance metrics from Pre-Pandemic to Return to In-Person Learning:

• Overall, Chronic Absenteeism has doubled, from ~14% to ~28%; significant increases seen at TK-5 (+~19%), Gr 6-8 (+~12%).

Concern:

• About 2 of 3 African American (~63%) and Pacific Islander (~69%) students were chronically absent, an increase of ~26% and ~34%, respectively, from 2019-20 (Pre-Pandemic)
• About 1 of 2 Hispanic/Latino students (~46%) were chronically absent, an increase of ~23% for the same time period

2019-2020 to 2021-2022 PRELIMINARY Cumulative Average Attendance

Grades TK-12 Unmatched Students

Overall, Weekly Cumulative Average Attendance is lower than the previous two years, with a sharp decrease observed for Weeks 1-4 and Weeks 18-21 (Omicron surge) before stabilizing

Sharp decreases compared to the previous two years is most evident at TK-5, where Weekly Cumulative Average Attendance trends have a similar pattern

2019-2020 to 2021-2022 PRELIMINARY Weekly Average Attendance

Grades TK-12 Unmatched Students

Overall, Weekly Average Attendance is lower than the previous two years, with a sharp decrease observed in Weeks 18-21 (Omicron surge) before rebounding and stabilizing

Larger gaps compared to the previous two years is most evident at TK-5, whereas Gr 6-8 and Gr 9-12 are similar to the previous two years (aside from the Omicron surge weeks)

Social-Emotional Survey Results (2019-20 to 2021-22)

Grades 4-12 Unmatched Students

Source: Panorama survey data, 2019-20 through 2021-22. Detailed results available here.

Data Observations

​

​

School Culture-Climate favorability rates returned to pre-pandemic levels for students, staff and families (the 2019-20 survey was administered before school site closures).

Looking across student groups no differences were observed.

​

Deeper dives in the data surfaced a pronounced decrease in Safety from 2020-21 to 2021-22.

Grades TK-12 Unmatched Students

Source, Date, Definition: RPA and Synergy. Fall semester 2019-20 to fall semester 2021-22. Suspensions per 100 students: 100 times the count of suspensions divided by student enrollment. Interpreted as the number of suspensions per group of 100 students.

Data Observations

​

​

Suspension rates for Fall 2021 at each grade level are higher than they were in Fall of 2020, but lower than in the last pre-pandemic Fall semester of 2019.

​

Fall 2020 data should be considered in the context of the pandemic and related site closures/distance learning. All students were engaged in distance learning.

​

As evidenced by the charts on the next slide, suspension rates did increase for some MS and HS student groups from Fall 2019 to Fall 2021, namely AA, AI, FI, WH (MS) as well as PI and HOM (HS).
