4 ( LDC ). These opportunities can give students a head start on college credits and better prepare them for postsecondary success. 3. Attendance: Our goal is to reduce our chronic absentee rate to 19% or below by the end of the 2026-2027 school year. Currently, our chronic absentee rate is 26.2%. Regular attendance is crucial for academic success - students who are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days) during their 9th grade year are 30% less likely to graduate on time. We believe that by focusing on these three areas, we can significantly improve our students' academic outcomes and future readiness. We encourage all students to know their numbers - their ACT score, their EPSO count, and their attendance record.
