The 2018-19 Annual Achievement Report, the predecessor to the Year in Review report and the last academic review conducted by ETHS prior to the pandemic, showed a similar gap in GPA and lower attendance rates for Black and Latino students, students with IEPs and students receiving free or reduced lunch compared to their white and Asian peers - though at that time, no group met the 95% attendance bench mark. The gap has been apparent in Evanston for years.
The same was true for attendance, where the state bench mark is set at 95%. Ultimately, only white, Asian, and students who identify as two or more races cleared the state bench mark. But that did not hold when broken down by the 45% of the student body that identifies as Black or Latino, as well as students with IEPs, who comprise slightly more than 11% of the student body, and the 35% of students who receive free or reduced lunch.
