Chronic absenteeism — 2024-25
Share of students missing 10% or more of expected attendance — the leading indicator that often precedes the demand decline shown above. Families disengaging tend to raise absenteeism first, then formally leave. Basis: total enrollment.
Absenteeism is in the typical CA HS range. Worth monitoring alongside the demand and retention signals above.

40 of 258 students who enrolled at Ballington Academy For The Arts And Sciences this year didn't maintain continuous enrollment (15.5% non-stability). Mid-year transfers, dropouts, and other exits are all counted.
