Outside of the 5 biggest districts, students missed 12 days per 176-day year. Low-income kids missed 22. In the biggest 5, they missed 29.<\/li>\n<li>Graduation rates went slightly up from 2019 to 91%, even for the low-income\u2026despite plummeting test scores and 23% of Wisconsin students being chronically absent. Was this incredible resilience or passing unprepared students? I hope that it was legitimate.<\/li>\n<li>Milwaukee\u2019s future is terrifying. Black students in Milwaukee missed 46 days last year. Black high schoolers missed 63, or over 3 months! Black graduation rates dropped to 61%. Suspensions for Black students went up 7%. We must address core problems so that these children can get futures worthy of them.<\/li>\n<li>One would think that \u201clow-income kids missed a month of school last year\u201d would be news. So far, only Superior\u2019s reporters cared.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post originally appeared at https:\/\/reforminggovernment.org\/education-watch-graduation-attendance-collapsed-where-are-the-reporters\/ From IRG Senior Research Director Quinton Klabon: \u201cThe last&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":980,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-institute-for-reforming-government"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1730"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1730\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1732,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1730\/revisions\/1732"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
