Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The problem is with your specification of school_start_yr and school_start_mo. You used 2022 and 1, respectively. That was a good guess, but the tables are based on 2021 and 7, a modification because of Covid.

I looked at the CSPpro code for chapter 2 and it has the following notes:

{cm: KNBS explained survey academic year in 2022 started in July 2021 and ended in April 2022. The survey started in January 2022.}
{ The 2022 academic year started on May 2022 and will finish on December 2022. This start months for academic year were affected by }
{ the pandemic. Schools will open normal schedule (as before the pandemic) in 2023, from January to December }
yeareduc = 2021; { done - Survey academic year. Use first year if survey goes across two years }
mntheduc = 07; { done - Month when survey academic year starts}

For other users who try to reproduce the school attendance ratios--the most common reason for not getting a match is that you do not have the "correct" values of these two numbers.
