The report is displayed for the school selected at the top-right of the screen. The report is organized by grade level and displays statistics on daily membership, days present, days absent, and breakdowns of types of absences. The Percent of Students Chronically Absent is determined by comparing the days possible column, identifying the number of students meeting this criterion in the date range (where attendance code is set up to absent ac.state_code = ‘A’ for daily attendance) and computing the percent by summing these students and dividing by average daily membership; i.e. students with 10% absent during the date range.
