Attendance
School attendance, with heightened levels of chronic absenteeism is a top concern in K-12 education. Regular attendance decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, and has not fully resumed to pre-pandemic levels.
"Chronic absenteeism" refers to missing 10% or more days of school. New Mexico Public Education Dept provides district-level data. (See Sources/Notes at the bottom of the page for links and more information.)
