Math proficiency compared with percent regular attenders.

What this shows

Schools with higher regular-attendance rates usually show higher proficiency. The relationship is often visible even before formal statistical modeling.

What to test

  • Whether the attendance slope changes by grade span.
  • Whether the pattern is consistent within specific locales or districts.
  • How this relationship compares with income and adult-education views under matching filters.
Interpretation caution: Attendance is both a condition and a proxy. It may reflect family context, school systems, and local conditions at the same time.
