Using a combination of descriptive and inferential methods, we analyze longitudinal student data from Ohio to answer the following questions about absenteeism and achievement: Does absenteeism have similar implications for academic outcomes in urban, suburban, town, and rural locales? Are daily attendance patterns similar across locales? Do some locales have more equitable attendance outcomes for special students than others? Do differences in attendance patterns across locales persist when controlling for student and school characteristics?
