As part of OCID’s High School Class of 2020 analysis series, we looked at disparities in rates of contact/enrollment by various student or family characteristics. Use the following interactive chart to explore a variety of experiences from available state data.
Tip: Hover over underlined text for definitions.
How to Use the Chart
- Select a student/family characteristic from the list. Each dot represents the percent of that group of students with the selected student/family characteristic.
- Choose the cohort to look at the information for the Class of 2020 or the multiclass 9th-grade cohort.
- To look at a narrower population, apply a filter. Note that not all filters are available depending on the selected student/family characteristic.
- Hover over the dots on the chart for details.
Example data exploration
OCID analysis found that severe chronic absenteeism is one of the top barriers to 4-year high school graduation.
- Select Severe chronic absenteeism as the student/family characteristic to explore what groups of students had this experience.
- In the Class of 2020, just over a quarter of students were ever severely chronically absent.
- The rate of this experience varied greatly for students with different characteristics. Roll over the chart to see that 35% of those with a disability (IEP) experienced severe chronic absenteeism compared to 23% of those with no disability.
- Filter by the equity consideration of Ever had an IEP to find disparities within that group;
- Across income levels, students with a disability had rates of severe chronic absenteeism spanning from 11% (no known poverty) to 54% (deep poverty).

Severe Chronic Absenteeism
- Defined here as being severely chronically absent in the school year.
- Severe chronic absenteeism is a school system metric for student attendance of 80% or fewer of school days in a school year. Please visit the Oregon Department of Education website for additional information about student attendance.
Important Things to Know
- Measures of educational success can take different forms such as career and technical education, apprenticeship pathways, generalized equivalency diploma (GED), and 4-year or extended high school graduation. Of these outcomes, OCID currently only has access to 4-year high school graduation data for the 2020 class.
- Personal characteristics such as race and ethnicity or geography are intended to act as a proxy for experiences or exposures that cannot be measured accurately and completely with available data, such as systemic racism, toxic stress, or lack of access to resources. These data do not fully describe an individual’s identity or experience.
- Causal relationships between characteristics and outcomes or explanations for patterns cannot be drawn from this analysis. OCID’s subsequent in-depth analyses will use advanced statistical methods to better understand patterns and relationships.
- Currently, OCID only includes children born in Oregon from 2001 onwards. We estimate that 25% of children who are current Oregon residents were not born in the state and, thus, are not included in OCID. Please visit the Explore OCID page for more information.
- In order to protect the identities of individuals in the OCID population, and in adherence to data use agreements covering release of the data, results are suppressed if they do not meet minimum reporting thresholds. Please visit the Dataset Overview page for details.
