Additionally, several schools, particularly Palmdale Discovery Center and Highland High, have high chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the Antelope Valley Union High, Palmdale Elementary, and Westside Union Elementary districts.
