That dominant concentration means Croton-Harmon Union Free School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary.

Croton-Harmon Union Free School District chronic absenteeism rate is 11.9% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
