| Abstract | Attendance rates and selected academic and school climate indicators in 39 secondary schools in Cleveland, Ohio, were studied by ranking and grouping the schools into the top third, the middle third, and the lowest third, based on attendance rates. Compared to the group of schools with highest attendance rates, the schools composing the lowest group had significantly greater: suspension rates; percent of total F grades in English, mathematics, science, and social studies; non-promotion rates for black students; and student poverty rates. Schools in the top groups had significantly higher school-wide average reading comprehension scores. Although the differences were not statistically significant, the top group (compared to the lowest group) had lower: non-promotion rates for whites; minority-to-white reading comprehension score disparities; suspension rates; teacher absenteeism rates; and corporal punishment rates. Multiple regression analysis using the school indices as predictors of a school's average daily attendance indicated that academic indicators (those relating to achievement) are more powerful predictors than non-academic or school process indicators (teacher absenteeism, student suspension, racial composition, and poverty level). The findings suggest that the attendance problem will not be fundamentally remedied until actual academic performance is improved. (Author/MJL) |
