Additionally, it can provide schools with important information regarding the reason (s) why students are late. This information should be part of the student analytics, in order for administrators and school staff, to better understand conditions and situation outside of the control of students.

"Roughly 15 more minutes of school a day (or about an additional week of class over an academic year) relates to an average increase in overall academic achievement of about 1.0 percent, and a 1.5 percent increase in average achievement for disadvantaged students."
