Participation, status, and funding data on homeless student enrollment. Data from 2011-12 onward

According to federal legislation, any child who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence is considered homeless. If a student is found eligible for services under the McKinney-Vento Act, Norfolk Public Schools can provide transportation, free meals, clothing and school supplies, and referrals to local resources.

Attendance data include 3K-12 students in Districts 1-32 and 75 (Special Education). Students in District 79 (Alternative Programs), charter schools, home schooling, and home and hospital instruction are excluded. Infants in D79 (LYFE program) and students with a grade level "AD" (adult) are also excluded. Pre-K data do not include NYC Early Education Centers; therefore, Pre-K data are limited to those who attend K-12 schools that offer Pre-K and District Pre-K Centers.

Data comprises attendance records for those dates reported by schools in ATS as of October 28, 2021. Overall Attendance Rate is defined as the percent of days where students have present attendance status, out of total days with reported attendance data, across 13 days of attendance data September 13-30. Remote Instruction Attendance Rate is defined as the percent of days where students have present remote attendance status out of total days with a remote attendance record reported, across 13 days of attendance data.

In order to comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regulations on public reporting of education outcomes, subgroups with fewer than 5 students are suppressed and have been replaced with an "s". Instances where there are no reported attendance data have been marked with an "NA". Remote Instruction Attendance Rate includes students receiving Medically Necessary Instruction (MNI), students receiving remote instruction while quarantining, and system-wide remote learning days.
