State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli’s report alongside City Hall reveals alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates in NYC schools, especially among disadvantaged communities.
The Mayor's Management Report indicates that 34.8% of all NYC public school and charter students were chronically absent in FY 2024, reflecting ongoing challenges.
Disparities in absenteeism are evident as Hispanic, Black, and economically disadvantaged students, particularly in high schools, show significantly higher absence rates.
Students with disabilities experience the highest absentee rates, pointing to a critical area for targeted interventions as schools recover from the pandemic.
