The Ed-Fi “Classic Dashboards” are no longer supported through the Ed-Fi Alliance. You can still receive support and maintenance through the Ed-Fi vendor community. Please look at any of the vendors’ dashboard solutions on the Registry of Ed-Fi Badges or the Ed-Fi Starter Kits if you are looking for a visualization solution to use with the Ed-Fi ODS. This documentation will remain available to assist existing Classic Dashboard implementers.

Daily Attendance Rate

Overview


With access to daily attendance detail about a student, educators can view attendance patterns, including both excused and unexcused absences, throughout the school year. If a student’s overall attendance falls below the defined campus attendance goal, the student can be easily identified for immediate attention and intervention by teachers, counselors, advisors, or other campus-level staff.

Aggregated at the campus level, educators can pull lists of students for attendance interventions, identify students at risk of becoming truant, and identify grade levels that are may be suffering from attendance problems. Aggregated at the district level, school leaders can evaluate which campuses would benefit from programs and interventions intended to improve student attendance. Ideally, teachers and counselors would review student attendance daily, or at a minimum on a weekly basis, to address issues before attendance declines to a critical level.
