Massachusetts students have missed 15 million more school days since 2020, as absenteeism has risen across communities and demographics; nearly 100 surveyed superintendents largely said the pandemic made school less of a priority for families. Absences stem from factors including travel, work, sports, mental health challenges, poverty and housing instability, and are especially harmful to students already at risk. Missed days are linked to lower achievement and higher risks of dropping out, while attendance remains below pre-pandemic levels despite some districts’ efforts to improve it.
