At a Tuesday night School Committee meeting, administrators from the city’s public schools gave progress reports on metrics such as student attendance and grades. While unexcused absences have remained low across the schools, largely due to more absences being accepted as excused, Easthampton High School Principal Bill Evans reported that the number of students failing at least one class rose from 6% in fall 2019 to 16% during this same period in 2020.
