Schools among Kane County had the 16th highest truancy rate of 19.8% during the 2021-2022 school year, according to the Illinois State Board of Education report.

Perry Elementary School had the highest truancy rate among 157 schools in Kane County - 64.4%, while Louise White Elementary School had the highest attendance rate - 96.2%.

Some schools have incomplete data, which is factored into the calculations.

In Kane County schools enrolled 108,007 students in the 2021-2022 school year, and average daily attendance was at 91.6% for the year, the Illinois State Board of Education reported. The average daily rate of attendance across the state was 90.8%.

In 2022, Illinois had 1,925,415 students enrolled in a total of 3,977 schools. There were 130,467 teachers in the public schools, or roughly one teacher for every 15 students, compared to the national average of 1:16.

K-12 enrollment has been declining in Illinois for many years, reflecting demographic changes. Combined public and private K-12 enrollment dropped three percent between the 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 school year (60,900 students), far more than the typical 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent annual enrollment declines in Illinois over the last 5 years.
