The Manchester school district has released new data that shows middle and high school students are struggling during the pandemic, especially students of color.
A review of grades and attendance records from the district’s first quarter of the school year - when most students were partially or fully remote - show that about 10 percent more students failed or missed classes this fall, compared to a year ago.
About a third of students had five or more absences, potentially putting them on a path to truancy.
More than 40 percent of secondary school students were failing at least one class. That number is even higher for students learning English as a second language, students with special education needs, and Black and Latinx high schoolers.
