The agenda states, citing endnoted Consortium research on student attendance (Allensworth et al., 2026), that "students' perceptions of their classes and schools matter even more in post-pandemic years for whether they come to school." No effect size is printed.
"Chronic absenteeism rose sharply after the COVID-19 pandemic, and students' perceptions of their classes and schools matter even more in post-pandemic years for whether they come to school than prior to the pandemic."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Multiple dimensions of school climate were associated with lower school absences, with stronger relationships after the pandemic than before — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Schools serving similar students from similar neighborhoods had substantially different absence rates, with over half of school variation unexplained by student backgrounds or prior absences — related
- Students and teachers reported more positive school climate perceptions in 2020/21 during hybrid and remote learning than in 2018/19 and 2021/22 — related
- No evidence of a significant decline in school climate scores between 2018/19 and 2021/22 in the Pennsylvania sample — related
- School climate scores were steady across the years before COVID-19 in the Pennsylvania sample — related
