Abstract
Regular school attendance is crucial for academic success and students' overall well-being. However, school absenteeism remains a United States nationwide challenge, with a significant number of students missing several school days each year. School absenteeism, with its deep and far-reaching consequences on students and society, in terms of economic, social, and health impacts, continues to captivate the attention of scholars and education stakeholders in a bid to understand the underlying factors and develop interventions that may keep students on track for school completion and other positive outcomes. This systematic review identifies and evaluates research-based evidence to increase school attendance. A total of 41 studies were reviewed and synthesized. The results show that there exist various interventions that may improve school attendance. Strongest evidence was found for parental involvement, mentoring, and a combination of multiple interventions. Implications for practice include strategies for expending resources, as it is possible to have cost-efficient, effective programs.
