Chronic absenteeism: See where Alabama students missed 18 days or more of school

During the 2021-22 school year, 18% of K-12 students missed 18 or more days of school.

An Alabama Education Lab analysis of chronic absenteeism rates - the percentage of students who missed 18 or more days of school in a given school year - showed a wide range among the state’s school districts and schools.

Among the state’s 138 traditional school districts, Perry County had the highest absenteeism rate in the 2021-22 school year, the most recent year data is available. Four in every 10 students missed 18 or more days of school - more than twice the rate of years before the pandemic. On the other end of the scale was Blount County, where fewer than 5% of students were chronically absent. In Mountain Brook City schools, just over 5% of students were chronically absent - a rate that was a tad lower than pre-pandemic levels.
