Government school student attendance rates by gender, indigenous status and year level, 2020

The data is collected from all Government schools as part of the administration of student absences. Attendance rate is calculated on the number of actual full-time equivalent student-days attended by students in Years 1 to 10 as a percentage of the total number of possible student-days attended over semester 1. Please note: This definition differs for the data published by ACARA on the 'My School' website where attendance is calculated for Year 1 to Year 10 over the full school year. Please note that due to lockdown periods impacted by COVID-19, the attendance dataset for 2020 might not be comparable to previous year attendance dataset.
