Monthly Attendance Summary by Grade
Introduction
This is an aggregated attendance report that can be run for an individual school for various grade levels, special programs and an optional single track. For Mississippi, the report is intended to display attendance by standard grade level (PK-12) and special/secondary grade level. By default, the values displayed in the report represent only full day absences and attendance.
Selection Criteria
Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report.
Student Selection
The report selects records from the [Students] and [ReEnrollments] tables based on the following criteria:
- The student must be enrolled in a school included in the report and the school must not be excluded from state reporting.
- The student’s school entry date must occur on or before the report end date.
- The student’s school exit date must occur on or after the report start date.
- The student’s school exit date must occur after their school entry date.
- The student must be enrolled in a grade level chosen at report runtime.

Data Element | Description | [Table]FieldName |
School Name | The name of the school included in the report. | [Schools]Name |
Date Range | The date range of the report, entered at report runtime. | N/A |
Track | The track included in the report. The report displays NONE if Yes is selected for “Report by Track”, but the track field is left blank. This section is omitted if No is selected for “Report by Track”. | N/A |
Number of School Days | The number of in session school days within the report date range. To review the calendar, navigate to Start Page > School Setup > Calendar Setup. Verify that all of the appropriate fields are filled out for each day during the reporting period. | [Calendar_Day]InSession=1 |
Grade Level | The grade level of the students. If a student is enrolled in a special/secondary grade level included in the report, then the student is displayed with that grade level, rather than their standard grade level. If a student is enrolled in a special program, then the student is displayed with the special program and grade level. | [Students]Grade_Level [S_MS_STU_X]GradeCode [Reenrollments]Grade_Level [S_MS_REN_X]GradeCode |
Carry Fwd | The number of students enrolled in the grade level or special program up to the report start date (their entry date must be before the report start date and exit date must be on or after the report start date). For special programs, the entry and exit date rules must be true for both their school enrollment and special program enrollment. If the first day of the report is the first day of school, then carry forward is zero. | [Students]EntryDate [Reenrollments]EntryDate [Students]ExitDate [Reenrollments]ExitDate [SpEnrollments]Enter_Date [SpEnrollments]Exit_Date |
Gain | The number of students who enrolled in the grade level or special program during the report date range (their entry date can fall on the report start or end date, or any date in between). Grade Level Gain The student must meet the following criteria to be considered a gain for the grade level:
Special Program Gain A student is considered a gain for a special program if they have at least one day of membership in the program during the report date range in an enrollment record that does not count as a carry forward. | [Students]EntryDate [Reenrollments]EntryDate [SpEnrollments]Enter_Date |
Multi Gain | The number of students who entered the grade level or special program more than once during the report date range. The student must meet the “Gain” criteria more than once during the report date range, or meet both the “gain” criteria and the “carry forward” criteria. | [Students]EntryDate [Reenrollments]EntryDate [Students]ExitDate [Reenrollments]ExitDate [SpEnrollments]Enter_Date [SpEnrollments]Exit_Date |
Loss | The number of students who exited the grade level or special program during the report date range (their exit date can fall on the report start or end date or any date in between). Grade Level Loss The student is considered a loss to the grade level if they are counted as a carry forward or gain and are not a member of the school on the report end date. In other words, leaving the school causes a loss for the grade level. Special Program Loss A student is considered a loss to a special program if the student was enrolled in the special program at some point during the report date range and is not a member of the special program on the report end date. | [Students]ExitDate [Reenrollments]ExitDate [SpEnrollments]Exit_Date |
Ending | The number of students enrolled in the grade level or special program on the last day of the report date range (their entry date must be on or before the report end date and their exit date must be after the report end date). For special programs, the entry and exit date rules must be true for both their school enrollment and special program enrollment. The student is included in the end count for the grade level or special program if they are counted as a carry forward or a gain for that group, but not counted as a loss. | [Students]SchoolID [Reenrollments]SchoolID [SpEnrollments]ProgramID |
Actual Days | The number of possible attendance days for all of the students, which is the total number of students enrolled in the grade level or special program at some point during the report date range multiplied by the number of in session school days. This value is calculated using the following formula: ((Carry Fwd + Gain – Multi Gain) x School Days) | N/A |
Off Track | The number off track days for all of the students in the selection. Note: This value is zero if tracks are not included in the report. | [Students]Track [Reenrollments]Track [Attendance]Calendar_DayID = [Calendar_Day]ID [Calendar_Day]A, B, D, C, E, or F = 0 |
Days N/E (Not Enrolled) | The total number of days that students were not enrolled in the grade level or special program. | [Students]EntryDate [Students]ExitDate [Reenrollments]EntryDate [Reenrollments]ExitDate [SpEnrollments]Entry_Date [SpEnrollments]Exit_Date |

ADA | The average daily attendance for the students within the report date range. This value represents is the number of students present at school on average for each day within the report date range. The value is calculated by dividing the total attendance (the total number of students in attendance for all days during the report date range) by the number of days that students were eligible to be enrolled within the report date range (in session school days for all students). This value is calculated using the following formula: Days Attended / (Actual Days – Off Track – Days N/E – Days Ineligible) | [Attendance]Att_Date [Attendance]StudentID [Attendance]Total_Minutes (time & interval attendance) [Attendance]Attendance_Code_ID = [Attendance_Code]ID (meeting & daily attendance) [Attendance_Code]Presence_Status_CD = Present |
ADA % | The average daily attendance percentage for students within the report date range. This value is the percentage of students present at school on average for each day within the report date range. This value is calculated using the following formula: [Days Attended / (Actual Days – Off Track - Days N/E – Days Ineligible)] x 100 | N/A |
Subtotal | The subtotal for each column by grade level and MS grade level. | N/A |
Grand Total | The total for each column. | N/A |
ADA Breakdown | The average daily attendance total during the report date range for each transportation status type. | [Attendance]Att_Date [Attendance]StudentID [Attendance]Total_Minutes (time & interval attendance) [Attendance]Attendance_Code_ID = [Attendance_Code]ID (meeting & daily attendance) [Attendance_Code]Presence_Status_CD = Present [S_MS_STU_X]TransportCode |
