Are students showing up for class?

Below are two metrics for your school: Average daily attendance is the core metric used by Texas to determine how much money the state gives schools. If a student misses school, their district's attendance average drops, and so does the amount of money received. Chronically absent students — those who missed at least 10% of school days — are more likely to drop out, education advocates say.

Why this matters

Most U.S. states use enrollment to determine state funding for school districts. Texas, with 5.5 million public school students, is one of only six states to fund schools based on average daily attendance. In a post-COVID world where parents feel more inclined to keep sick children home, some districts' finances have grown more unpredictable. Declining birth rates and increasing schooling options (charter schools and private school vouchers) may also contribute to those challenges.

Attendance was 91.5% in 2024

How it breaks down

A deeper dive

Statewide data shows chronic absenteeism disproportionately affects economically disadvantaged students and children in special education programs. In a post-COVID world where parents feel more inclined to keep sick children home, some districts' finances have grown more unpredictable. Declining birth rates and increasing schooling options (charter schools and private school vouchers) may also contribute to those challenges. Texas has about 5.5 million public school students, but 19% were chronically absent (missed at least 10% of days in the school year) in 2023-24, meaning schools missed out on funding.
