Question

If a student misses 20 or more days a year in elementary school, then they are more likely to drop out of high school. The Baltimore Education Resource Consortium found that students who missed less than 10 days of elementary school had a 70% chance of graduating high school while students who were chronically absent (missed 20 or more days) had a 30% chance of graduating high school.

Which of the following statements are true (select all that are true)?

3.A student who has good attendance in elementary school is more likely to graduate high school than a student with poor attendance.

1.There must be something wrong with the numbers because 70% and 30% account for 100% of the students, but there must have been students who missed between 10 and 20 days of school.

Explanation / Answer

Ans. 2. Elementary school attendance is a strong predictor of high school graduation.

Research shows that by the middle and high school, chronic absence is a leading warning sign that a student will drop out.
