In Canada, where national attendance data are scarce, little is known about how absences and grades co-evolve through critical educational transitions. We examined heterogeneous joint trajectories of school absences and grade point averages (GPAs) from mid-elementary through secondary school (Grade 5 to Grade 12) and examined the transition to secondary school (Grade 8 to Grade 9) as a developmental turning point. We also assessed correlates of academic functioning classes including demographic factors, elementary school type (K-8 vs. middle school), bullying victimization, and depression and anxiety symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Data were drawn from 701 students (53% girls;\n                      <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub>\n                      \u2009=\u200910.9 years) participating in an eight-year longitudinal study spanning Grades 5\u201312 in southern Ontario, Canada. Official school-record data on annual absences and GPAs were analyzed using parallel-process piecewise latent growth curve modelling and multi-trajectory (latent class) analysis to identify distinct patterns of co-development and discontinuities at the secondary school transition.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>On average, absences increased, and GPAs remained relatively stable across Grade 5 to Grade 12, with a significant increase of 2.76% percent days absent at the secondary school transition. Six joint trajectories were identified: three stable groups showed minimal, developmentally appropriate absences with high, moderate, and mid-range GPA and three risk groups showed increasing or chronic absences paired with declining grades (high increasing absences with moderate declining GPA; low-elementary high-secondary absences with low mid-range declining GPA; chronic absences with mid-range declining GPA). Lower socioeconomic status, male gender, and higher depressive symptoms characterized at-risk trajectories.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings indicate that school attendance and achievement are dynamically linked, and for some, change sharply during the secondary school transition.
