In this research brief, we provide descriptive data on the effect of the pandemic on student absences, course grades, and grade retention in the 2020-21 school year. We also examine how these effects vary across grade levels, at different points of the absence and course grade distribution, and for student subgroups. We find that: (1) On average, students in 2020–21 missed more days of school, performed worse in their courses, and were more likely to be retained in grade in the following year as compared to pre-pandemic peers.
