Illinois to eliminate poor attendance from school ratings – Illinois Policy

The new system will use the term “consistent attendance,” the percentage of students present 90 percent or more of the school year. But the revised system also changes attendance from a “core indicator” in the rankings to merely an “elevating indicator.” Why that matters: Strong “consistent attendance” will raise a school’s rating, but a weak performance won’t hurt it.

Another example of relaxing standards so as to not hold anyone accountable for acceptable behavior.

They can disguise the poor performance all they want. You would have to live on Mars to not know the chicago schools stink. I am sure this rule was developed for them. No accountability. Ever.

Maybe schools need to pay attention to truancy and notify parents. Students should not graduate or be promoted to next grade if they don’t attend school.
