Case Study: Corsicana Independent School District reduces chronic absenteeism with SchoolStatus Attend

Corsicana Independent School District drops chronic absenteeism to 10.7% with SchoolStatus

Corsicana Independent School District, a Texas district with 8 schools and 6,000 students, faced an uptick in chronic absenteeism and a downturn in assessment scores. To address this, the district partnered with vendor SchoolStatus and implemented its SchoolStatus Attend product to shift their focus from administrative tasks to building family trust and partnerships.

The solution from SchoolStatus automated attendance interventions, freeing principals from clerical work to have meaningful conversations with students and families. This allowed them to identify and address real-life barriers to attendance. In just one year, Corsicana ISD reduced chronic absenteeism from 19.7% to 10.7% and increased overall district attendance from 93.7% to 95.6%. SchoolStatus also facilitated better family engagement through both digital and mailed interventions.
