  • District Attendance



    Almost half of our Wichita Public Schools students are identified as chronically absent, meaning they have missed at least 11 days of school this year. This rate is almost double the year-end rate from 2019! We need your help to get our students back on track.


    We acknowledge that WPS is not the only district locally or nationally facing a chronic absenteeism problem. We also know that we need to create unique solutions that serve the needs of our students and their families. This starts with all our staff understanding the problem and committing to doing their part to help. 


    3 Reasons Why This Matters

    You have worked extremely hard for 5 years on achieving the district’s strategic plan goals. Chronic absenteeism directly affects our ability to achieve 3 of our 4 long-term goals.

    1. Graduation Rate: Students who are chronically absent in a single year between grades 8 and 12 are 7 times more likely to drop out of high school.
    2. 3rd Grade Literacy: Students who are chronically absent in pre-k and kindergarten are less likely to be reading on grade level by third grade.
    3. Safety: Students who are chronically absent are more likely to engage in risky behaviors and show increased risk for suicidal behavior, depression and anxiety.
