Abstract

This study investigated the factors influencing absenteeism and their impact on students' academic performance at Buenavista Integrated School, Zamboanga City Division, during the 2024-2025 school year. The research focused on Junior High School students from Grades 7 to 10, employing a descriptive-correlational research design. Data was collected through surveys and document analysis, with a sample drawn from a population of 559 students using stratified and purposive sampling techniques. The study examined three main factors contributing to absenteeism: health-related issues, personal attitudes, and home-related factors. Results indicated that health-related issues, particularly stomach pain, fever, and headaches, were the most significant contributors to absenteeism. Personal attitudes and home-related factors were found to have a less pronounced but still notable influence. Despite these challenges, students demonstrated satisfactory academic performance, with a mean score of 84.38 for the first quarter. A statistically significant relationship was found between absenteeism factors and academic performance, with a moderate negative correlation (R = -0.357) indicating that increased absenteeism is associated with declining academic performance. The study highlights the importance of addressing absenteeism through targeted interventions, including improving health support, fostering positive school environments, and strengthening school-parent collaborations. These findings contribute to the ongoing effort to create more equitable and effective educational systems by providing insights for educators and policymakers to develop strategies that improve attendance and enhance student achievement.
