SchoolStatus is proud to partner with over half of California School Districts

EdTech leader SchoolStatus now supports over 3.6 million students across 514 California school districts, driving statewide attendance improvements with data-backed tools and family engagement solutions.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As California schools face an urgent attendance crisis, SchoolStatus is standing alongside district leaders as a trusted and proven partner. With over two decades of expertise in developing impactful education technology and a deep understanding of California's legal and regulatory landscape, SchoolStatus supports over 50% of school districts—more than 3.6 million students—in California alone.

"What sets SchoolStatus apart isn't just our technology—it's our comprehensive partnership approach. We're providing California districts with a complete ecosystem: actionable data analytics, automated positive messaging that celebrates progress, and professional development that builds capacity within attendance teams," said Dr. Kara Stern, Director of Education & Engagement at SchoolStatus. "Instead of just flagging absences, we're helping educators strengthen family relationships through personalized, respectful communication that meets families where they are—ultimately getting students back in the classroom and keeping them there."

"SchoolStatus' support has been instrumental in helping us significantly improve our attendance rates and decrease chronic absenteeism." Dr. Ramiro Rubalcaba, Superintendent of Los Nietos SD.

Proven Results from District Partners

SchoolStatus recently analyzed attendance data from 122 California districts and 800,000 students. It demonstrated a 21% drop in chronic absenteeism over three years, SchoolStatus partners compared to non-partner averages. These partner districts now average 93.45% daily attendance, closing in on pre-pandemic norms.

Partner highlights include:

  • Roseville City School District, where chronic absenteeism has fallen 43% in two years, with chronic rates among English Language Learners dropping from 13% to 7%.
  • Los Nietos School District, where chronic absenteeism has been reduced by 51% in two years, with chronic rates among Special Education students dropping from 29% to 17%, and English Language Learners from 16% to 12%.

"SchoolStatus' support has been instrumental in helping us significantly improve our attendance rates and decrease chronic absenteeism," said Dr. Ramiro Rubalcaba, Superintendent of Los Nietos SD. "As a result of this partnership, our students are not only attending school more consistently, they are also showing remarkable growth academically and demonstrating greater engagement overall."

Leadership Beyond Technology

SchoolStatus is a central voice in California's family engagement and attendance recovery efforts. As a strategic partner of the California Association of Supervisors of Child Welfare and Attendance (CASCWA) for over 15 years, SchoolStatus helps shape the conversation through statewide conferences, media, and thought leadership.

Experts in data analytics, education policy, and school communications have recently:

  • Co-presented with Redondo Beach USD at ACSA's Every Child Counts Symposium
  • Been spotlighted at CASCWA by Garden Grove USD and Roseville City SD
  • Authored a widely-read EdSource op-ed on targeted approaches to address chronic absenteeism by grade level
  • Published new attendance research cited by NPR and Yahoo News for data showing California partner districts bucking national trends

"Our data reveals that progress comes from combining early-warning systems with authentic family engagement," Dr. Stern noted. "While we've seen major gains in elementary grades, we're now helping districts address the more complex attendance challenges facing today's high school students—where social factors, mental health concerns, and economic pressures create unique barriers to consistent attendance."

As we anticipate the challenges and opportunities ahead in the 2025-2026 school year, SchoolStatus remains committed to supporting the dedicated educators and administrators across California's K-12 schools who work tirelessly to help students succeed. By continuing to provide the tools, insights, and partnership that districts need, we stand ready to help make every school day count. Our 360° approach recognizes that when family engagement, teacher satisfaction, and attendance all improve together, we're not just changing today's classrooms—we're building a stronger future for California's students and communities for generations to come.
