A descriptive-quantitative correlational research design was employed involving 100 Grade 8 students selected through stratified random sampling enrolled during School Year 2025-2026. Students’ perception on the factors of class attendance was determined using a validated survey questionnaires and student’s grades based on K-12 grading scale. Pearson r Correlation Coefficient was applied to determine the relationship between the profile of the student-respondents and the factors of class attendance at 0.05 level of significance, the same test was used to test the relationship between the profile of the student respondents and the academic performance of Grade 8 students during the first grading period, while a chi-square test of independence was performed to examine the relation between the factors affecting class attendance and the level of academic performance of Grade 8 students. Results showed that factors affecting class attendance can have an impact on the academic performance of Grade 8 students. Based on these findings, a set of collaborative home-school intervention activities was proposed to address the identified attendance-related issues.
