Average Daily Attendance
Average Daily Attendance (ADA) is calculated on the total number of days of student attendance divided by the total number of days in the regular school year. ADA is not the same as enrollment.
Hence the following:
- 100% = Perfect Attendance
- 99.44% = One Day Missed in the School Year
- 98.88% = Two Days Missed in the School Year
- 98.33% = Three Days Missed in the School Year
- 97.77% = Four Days Missed in the School Year
- 97.22% = Five Days Missed in the School Year
- 96.66% = Six Days Missed in the School Year
- 96.11% = Seven Days Missed in the School Year
- 95.55% = Eight Days Missed in the School Year
- 95.00% = Nine Days Missed in the School Year
- 94.44% = Ten Days Missed in the School Year
Importance of ADA
The district loses approximately $40 per day when a student misses a school day.
