Across the schools, chronic absenteeism rates are alarmingly high, ranging from 45.1% to 89.4%, indicating a persistent challenge in student engagement and attendance. The data also reveals stark disparities in educational outcomes, with Brenda Scott Academy for Theatre Arts and Osborn High School struggling to meet state averages in academic proficiency.
