By utilizing this statistical technique, the Correlation between student attendance and academic performance and also which school has showed great academic performance with respect to attendance can be found out. To conduct this analysis, a comprehensive dataset comprising attendance records and corresponding academic marks of particular subject will be collected from schools of various districts of Tamil Nadu. The attendance data will be obtained from attendance registers, while academic performance will be measured based on assignments, internal test marks and other relevant indicators. The school with overall best academic performance will be identified using arithmetic mean operation. If a positive correlation between attendance and academic performance is established, it will emphasize the importance of promoting regular attendance among students. By analyzing the variance between attendance and student’s performance, we try to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of attendance on students' overall achievements across the state.
