Chronic absenteeism reached 27.3% for students with disabilities

What happened

The 2025 Dashboard data in the safety plan reports that 27.3% of students with disabilities were chronically absent, up 4.8 percentage points, even as the districtwide rate improved to 16.6%.

Why it matters to families

The subgroup includes 44 students, so the rate represents roughly a dozen children missing at least 10% of school days. The Dashboard assigns the subgroup its lowest, red performance level, making this a documented gap despite overall improvement.

The evidence

The safety plan's Dashboard section lists 44 students with disabilities, a 27.3% chronic-absence rate, a 4.8-point increase, and a red performance level.
