Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between student attendance and student achievement on standardized tests. The study group was ninety- two students of a seventh grade class in an urban school district. A study was conducted to analyze if there is a direct relationship between a student's attendance and achievement on standardized tests. Individual attendance percentages and test scores from the 2014 MAP Communication Arts and Mathematics were collected for each student for the 2012-2013 academic year. Using A Statistic Package (ASP), data was entered into the system to test the correlation between student attendance and student achievement. The analysis resulted in a significant, positive relationship between student attendance and student achievement in the MAP Mathematics test. However, the analysis depicted no significant relationship between student attendance and student achievement in the MAP Communication Arts test. Based on the results, schools should increase the communication with parents about the importance of attendance and student achievement in education.
