This project examined the relationship of athletic participation to student achievement. To many, athletics have always been thought to have a positive impact on student academic achievement. Through an examination of grade point averages (GPAs), graduation rates, dropout rates, state assessments, and ACTs, this project examined that relationship between athletics and student academic achievement.

There has been much debate over the role athletics play in the lives of adolescents. However, there has not been any clear cut definitive answer provided by the current available research to conclusively support one side or the other. The purpose of this study is to find evidence to support the theory that there is a positive correlation between participation in high school athletics and academic achievement. Academic achievement for the purpose of this study will be determined by a student's grade point average, attendance and amount of disciplinary referrals by the administration in the school. We will draw our sample from 300 students, broken down into subgroups of athletes and non-athletes, all attending a small rural public high school of approximately 700-800 students. Through our study we will compare the grades, attendance records and disciplinary referrals of athletes and non-athletes in an attempt to find evidence to further support the argument that there is a positive correlation between the variables athletic participation and academic achievement.

"The purpose of this study was to compare the academic achievements of athletes and nonathletes to determine if there are benefits of interscholastic athletic participation. The independent variable was divided into two groups categorized as athletes or nonathletes. The dependent variables and the academic data analyzed were student GPA, ACT scores, attendance rates, and discipline referrals. The quantitative study used a one-way ANOVA and Fisher's Test to determine if a significant difference in the achievement of athletes and nonathletes existed."--from abstract. This study followed a group of students over a four-year period (from 9th through 12th grade) in one Mississippi high school.

Although there are educational benefits resulting from participation in sports, African American students do not always experience positive outcomes. The purpose of this causal comparative study was to investigate the effect of athletic participation on the academic achievement of African American high school male students. Descriptive statistics and archival data, consisting of grade point averages and ACT scores of student-athletes and non-athletes from six high schools in a large urban public school, were collected and analyzed. Results indicated there were no statistically significant differences between the grade point averages and ACT scores of student-athletes and non-athletes. Findings suggested opportunities to participate in athletics should be offered to all high school students. Recommendations for future research have been provided.

"The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between athletic participation and academic performance. Many of the studies do not find a direct cause and effect relationship linking athletic participation to higher academic performance. However, studies do find a consistent correlation between athletic participation and higher Grade Point Average (GPA), higher standardized test scores, and increased brain functioning. In addition, athletes tend to exhibit positive personal disciplines that contribute to better academic performance, due to lower dropout rates, better overall attendance, and more time spent on homework. An effort by educators to promote athletics, and possibly even build movement time into class may be beneficial to students. Future studies should focus on holding constant many of the variables (such as school size, course rigor, socioeconomic status, etc.), and should focus more on GPA, or standardized test scores. Doing so would ensure the cause and effect relationship was clearly explored and would avoid skewing of results."--leaf 4.

The literature review was conducted to examine the effects athletic participation has on the academic achievement of high school students. Student grades, attendance, behavior, and college readiness are affected positively by participation. Performance comparisons in the classroom and testing between those who participate and those who do not were reviewed. Drawbacks and barriers of participation for the students as well as the school are discussed. Educators can be better equipped to promote involvement, inclusion and opportunities for students. Counselors should be informed on specifics for student-athletes to aid in their development. Recommendations for future research are addressed.

This nonexperimental study examines the relationship between athletic participation by high school students and academic performance. Academic performance is measures in terms of three dependednt variables: grade point average, attendance, and level of courses taken by students. This investigation shows that students who participate in at least one interscholastic sport during the school year perform better academically than students who do not participate in at least one sport during the school year. ... The results suport the sypothesis that high school students who participate in interscholastic athletic programs achieve higher grade point averages, attend school more regularly, and choose to take more challenging courses, indicating higher educational aspirations, than students who do not participate in athletics. The results strengthen the rationale that stronger academic performance is a benefit of participation in high school athletics and for expanding athletic programs to allow participation for a greater number of students.
