attendance
Count of those present
Attendance is the act of being present somewhere, or the number of people present: Attendance at the rally exceeded expectations.
To take attendance is to record who has shown up.
School attendance may be mandatory; church attendance voluntary.
The word often implies obligation or expectation—you attend classes, meetings, court dates.
Poor attendance suggests chronic absence from somewhere you should be.
