Chronic Absenteeism in Oregon

Chronic absence is defined as missing 10 percent or more of school days and is highly correlated with poor literacy skills and academic performance. Earlier this year, an analysis of data from the Oregon Department of Education found that 23% of Oregon's students were chronically absent in the 2009-10 school year.

  • The statistics exclude students who did not attend at least 10 days and those who did not have a standard K-12 enrollment.
  • For districts, only data from the students' main attending school was used in the calculations. For example, if a student switched schools, but stayed within the district, the attendance data from the school they attended longest was used. For the statewide rates, attendance records were pooled from all of the students' schools and/or districts.
  • Students who were enrolled in the school district as their main attending school were included in the district rates. The column that excludes charter and alternative schools does not exclude these students, e.g. students were only excluded if their school was on the list of charter and alternative schools.
