Summary
Service members' deployment can potentially influence their children's academic performance. This study assessed the TerraNova test scores of 137 fourth and fifth graders who were dependents of Active Duty Service members in 2006 and 2007. Results indicated that deployment had a negative effect on some children's academic performance but not on others.
