ABSTRAKPenelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan PMT – ASdengan status gizi, kehadiran dan prestasi belajar anak sekolah. PMT – ASdikhususkan untuk anak sekolah guna memperbaiki status gizi dan kesehatanuntuk mendorong minat dan kemampuan belajar. Jenis penelitian intervensi pretest dan post test design . Populasi adalah anak sekolah, siswa kelas 1 – VI di SDWungu 3 tahun ajaran 2006 – 2008. Sampel yang diambil siswa yang mendapatPMT – AS selama 3 siklus berturut – turut, dan mempunyai data BB dan TBlengkap. Variabel independen PMT – AS dan variabel dependen status gizi,kehadiran dan prestasi belajar. Untuk mengetahui perbedaan status gizi, kehadirandan prestasi belajar dilakukan uji statistik menggunakan uji Paired T-test danuntuk mengetahui rerata status gizi, kehadiran dan prestas belajar sebelum dansesudah menggunakan metode statistik deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkanrerata IMT/U mengalami perbedaan yang bermakna sebelum dan sesudah PMT –AS dengan kenaikan rata – rata 0,165 point per tahun dengan p-value 0,000(<0,005) dengan derajat kepercayaan 95%. Ketidak hadiran cenderung menurunpada tahun 2006 dan 2008 namun pada uji statistik tidak bermakna. Prestasibelajar pada tahun 2007 dan 2008 bermakna pada Bahasa Indonesia, IPA danMatematika, sedangkan tahun 2006 hanya bermakna pada mata pelajaran IPAdengan p-value 0,000 dengan derajat kepercayaan 95 %. Berdasarkan hasilpenelitian disarankan program PMT – AS ini dapat dikembangkan sebagai upayadalam menangani masalah gizi, meningkatkan semangat dan konsentrasi belajarsehingga terjadi peningkatan dalam prestasinya.
