I was chronically late my last semester of high school. Didn't impact my grades any (I finished in 1998, roughly the start of the 'lock down' era and was fortunate enough to have a first hour teacher that didn't really care). I was probably late more than 1/2 of the time.

(the point being that the count of 'late and absent' probably doesn't paint enough of the story)

Many people slack off their last semester of high school. I was in the top 2% of my class when senior year started. By November, I was accepted to college early, so stopped doing much work. My final semester was the only time I ever got a C. I still ended senior year in the top 5%.
