   How it was computedvalue = the state's published PercentPersistentAttendance (2021-22+ workbooks) or 'Percent Regular Attendance' (2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 workbooks), as-is; served year = workbook year − 1

   1. Read the state's wide-format datafile: one row per Pennsylvania school, one column per measure × subgroup (e.g. PercentPersistentAttendance_Black).
   2. Keep Philadelphia rows by mapping the state's AUN + Schl codes to the district's ULCS code through the Master School List.
   3. Unpivot each recognized measure × subgroup column into one served cell; state suppression codes ('IS', '--', '*') are stored as suppressed.
   4. For the 2018-19, 2019-20, and 2020-21 workbooks the older long-format files are read instead: one row per school × data element; the 'Percent Regular Attendance (<subgroup>)' elements are kept.
   5. Stored under the attendance year (workbook year − 1), per PDE's Future Ready glossary: 'a lagging indicator indicating data is from the year prior to the reporting year'.

   Note: stored percentiles are computed by a batch script after loads; a difference from the live reconstruction means a newer load changed the comparison set and the batch has not been re-run.

   year of this cell

   2018-19 — this file's attendance indicator is a lagging indicator (the state's glossary: data from the year prior to the reporting year), so the 2019-20 workbook's value is stored under 2018-19

   notes

   long-format attendance only ('Percent Regular Attendance (<subgroup>)' → attendance_persistence_rate); lagging indicator stored under 2018-19

   To confirm you have the same file: download it from the URL above, then run shasum -a 256 <downloaded file> Copy command — the output should equal the hash above. If the publisher has since replaced the file, the hashes will differ, which is itself useful to know.

   Assumptions & caveatsAssumptions and caveats

   • The state's AUN + Schl → ULCS mapping from the 2024-25 Master School List is correct. State rows for schools not in that directory — district schools that closed before 2024-25 — are not loaded, so every year of state data is a survivor-only panel; cyber charters have their own AUNs and are outside the district's directory.
   • Where two directory schools share a state code (a school and its Continuation Academy), the state's single row belongs to the main school (deterministic rule; the full absenteeism QA lists every shared code).
   • 'Percent Regular Attendance' (older workbooks) and 'PercentPersistentAttendance' (newer workbooks) are the same indicator: PDE's glossary defines Regular Attendance with the 90-day enrollment and 90% attendance rules, and the aligned cross-publisher sweep shows the state's figure tracks the district's for the same schools in every year from 2020-21 on (r ≥ 0.99).
   • PDE's enrollment rule (students enrolled 90+ school days) differs from the district's (10+ days at the school). The state's figure runs a median ~0.8 to 1.7 points higher than the district's for the same schools in the same year; the eligibility difference is a plausible contributor but has not been measured, and local attendance coding (PDE lets each LEA decide how partial days count) is another candidate.

   • No student counts published, so no denominators are served.
   • Latest attendance year is 2023-24 (from the 2024-25 workbook); the district's own file runs a year later.
   • Before 2026-09-07 this metric was stored under the workbook year — one year too late — and the site wrongly said the 2019-20 workbook was never published. Both corrected after an external audit.
