Figure 1 of the brief, drawing on state departments of education for AK, AZ, CA, HI, ID, NM, NV, and OR, reports the 2022–23 rates; the text states the average of "34.3 percent during the 2022–23 school year versus 28.9 percent for all students." Alaska is excluded from the average because its EL data are suppressed. Percentages are descriptive; no effect size is printed.
"in the Western United States the chronic absence rate for multilingual learners surged to an average of 34.3 percent during the 2022–23 school year versus 28.9 percent for all students"
