failed to reach significancep = 0 .391
Schools with large numbers of classes and with large student-to-teacher ratios were linked to students emitting more absences ( b Classes = 0.196, p < 0.05; b RatioST = 0.151, p < 0.05); although the number of classes could potentially present a proxy for school size, the respective effect of having large numbers of students failed to reach significance ( b = 0.001, p = 0 .391).
