The number of absences a student has doesn't automatically qualify or disqualify them for special admission to a school. Admission criteria for special schools vary widely depending on the type of school (e.g., gifted and talented, specialized arts, schools for students with disabilities). Excessive absences might be a factor considered in the application process, however, especially if they indicate a potential for difficulty attending classes consistently.
The school's administration would review the complete application, including the reasons for the absences, and make a decision based on their specific requirements. Simply having 22 absences is not enough information to answer the question.
