New Hampshire requires most students ages 6 to 18 to attend school while giving local districts flexibility to define excused absences and provide support when attendance becomes a concern. A student is considered habitually truant after 10 unexcused half-day absences in a school year, with an emphasis on early family involvement rather than immediate penalties. The rules also account for remote learning by measuring attendance through student participation and completed coursework.
