What is served

Years: 2023-24, 2024-25
1,045 school-year cells across 527 schools; 0 stored as suppressed (publisher withheld)
874 cells carry a peer-group percentile (all-students rows of schools with a peer group)

What it cannot show

A mean over all students: a school can have a high attendance rate and a high chronic-absence rate at once if absences are concentrated in a few students.

How it was checked

Every served number runs through the four-check taxonomy described on the methodology page: (i) completeness, (ii) an exact re-read of the file by independent Python, (iii-b) a second publisher where one exists, (iv) recomputation of derived values.

In the ratings

Schools are ranked on this metric within their peer group (40 nearest schools on demographics and size, same level, sector and magnet status) and district-wide, with the rank inverted where lower is better so a high percentile always means a better outcome. See outliers and movers for this metric, and the ratings overview for how peer groups are built.
