Abstract	Newark's high schools play an essential role in building the next generation of young minds for college and career readiness. Yet, high achievement may be unattainable if students miss too much school. "Chronic absenteeism" is generally defined as missing 10 percent or more of enrolled days for any reason. Research has shown that when students miss that much school, they have lower odds of moving on to the next grade and a reduced chance of graduating on time. This report aims to identify the reasons why almost half of Newark high school students are chronically absent and to highlight steps educators, community members and city officials can take to help improve student attendance. [For the full report, "Showing up Matters: A Look at Absenteeism inside Newark's High Schools," see ED582317.] (ERIC).
