Connecticut School Attendance Rates by Student Group and District 2021-2022

State of Connecticut data provides attendance rates for public school students PK-12 during the 2021-2022 school year. Figures are broken down by district and student groups, including students experiencing homelessness, students with disabilities, and English learners. Data suppression is applied to protect student confidentiality.

Use Cases

• Compare attendance rates for students experiencing homelessness versus non-high needs students across Connecticut districts.
• Analyze the correlation between attendance and student group categories like English learners or students qualifying for free/reduced lunch.
• Identify districts with significant attendance gaps among student groups defined by race/ethnicity, such as Hispanic/Latino or Black or African American students.

Strengths

• Covers the 2021-2022 school year, a period of post-pandemic educational recovery.
• Includes granular breakdowns by multiple student groups, including high needs and non-high needs categories.
• Provides data at both district and state levels for comparative analysis.
• Applies data suppression rules to protect student privacy and prevent misinterpretation of small samples.

Limitations

• Specific row counts and column features are not provided in the input.
• Data suppression for confidentiality may result in missing values for some district-group combinations.
• The dataset is a single year snapshot, limiting longitudinal analysis of attendance trends.
