Abstract: Nearly 40,000 students in California public schools were in foster care at some point during the 2023-24 school year. These students encountered significant challenges to academic success, including high rates of school mobility, which disrupts student learning and connections with peers, schools, and communities (Cutuli et al., 2013) and was associated with lower academic performance, worse employment prospects, and increased involvement in the justice system (Kennedy et al., 2023). Improving educational stability is essential to closing the opportunity gaps for students in foster care, as emphasized by federal and state laws. In this report, we analyze student-level longitudinal data from the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) covering the 2017-18 through 2023-24 school years to examine school mobility patterns among students in foster care.
