The purpose of this study was to examine any association between the Body Mass Index (BMI) and school attendance among K-3 public school children. Desensitized data was collected via the Punxsutawney School District regarding K-3 students' BMI, days absent from school during the 2016 school year, medical conditions, and eligibility for free and reduced lunches. The most significant finding after analysis of the data was a significantly weak correlation (r = .093, p = .01) between students' BMI levels and days absent from school. The results also revealed students eligible for free and reduced lunch missed significantly (t = 4.8, p = .001) more days from school when compared to students not eligible for free or reduced lunch. Students with a reported medical condition reported an average of 9.31 (SD = 7.75) of days missed throughout the school year whereas students without a medical condition missed an average of 8.85 (SD = 6.3). When examining absenteeism by specific medical conditions, it was found that students with asthma missed the most days averaging 10.12 (SD = 7.86).
