BART By The Numbers

Our students are showing up strong and we are so close! Our year-to-date average daily attendance rate is sitting at an impressive 93% across the school. We are so close to reaching our school-wide goal of 95%, and with your continued support, we know we can hit it together. Thank you to all of our families for your dedication in getting students to school on time, energized, and ready to learn every single day
