Area 3: Attendance Rate: has been stable, but increasing this year. In 2018, the percent of students meeting attendance benchmarks earned 1 point on SPF, and in 2019 earned only .5 points on SPF. This is not that noticeable of a decrease, because the difference in overall attendance rate decreased only slightly - by about 2% points. In the 19-20 school year, attendance data had us on track for an upward trajectory of 3%. We believe that, although the decreased trend is not notable, the overall low attendance rate is notable.
