Ericka S. Weathers; Ismael G. Muñoz; David Loeb – High School Journal, 2023
While existing literature documents disparities in and implications of absenteeism and truant behavior, less is known about truancy as defined in state laws. Habitual truancy, which can trigger external punitive responses, is particularly underexplored. The current study utilizes administrative data from the universe of Pennsylvania schools to…

Taylor K. Odle; Preston Magouirk – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2023
Not all students who could benefit from college apply. With novel data on over 1.2 million high schoolers, we show that nearly 25% start but never complete a college application. We use descriptive techniques, data visualizations, and fixed effects models to explore this population of college-interested "non-submitters" to observe…
