Chronic absenteeism: share of resident students — all towns
Students who live in each town and missed 10% or more of their enrolled school days, all grades, —. Sorted lowest to highest; rank 1 is the lowest share.
Source: CSDE EdSight Resident Town Dashboard, “Percent of Students Chronically Absent”, all students, by town of residence and school type, via the resident block of school_performance_page.json (cut from edsight/resident_town.json). A town's figure is the mean across its school types with a published value, weighted by resident enrollment in each; the table and tooltip name the school types behind every figure.
Attendance rate: resident students — all towns
Days attended as a share of days enrolled, averaged over the town's resident students, —. The two measures move together but are not the same: attendance rate averages every student's days, while chronic absence counts how many students crossed the 10% line.

The full table
Every town with a published figure, ranked on chronic absence, with the attendance rate and its rank beside it and the school types each figure rests on.
How this ranking is made
Chronic absence = resident students absent 10% or more of their enrolled days ÷ resident students enrolled, as the state publishes it for each town and school type. Attendance rate = days attended ÷ days enrolled, averaged over resident students. The state publishes no single all-types figure per town, so this page computes one: the mean of the published school-type figures, weighted by each type's resident enrollment, and lists the types behind every figure.
- All absences count. The state definition does not distinguish excused from unexcused absence.
- All grades. Unlike the test measures, attendance covers kindergarten through grade 12, so a town's figure includes its regional high-school students under “Regional Schools”.
- Suppression and residence work as on the other school-results pages: a school type with fewer than 20 resident students has no published figure and is left out, never counted as 0.
- Year. The latest school year in which the state has published a figure for at least 100 towns; the year is printed on each chart.
