Data linking poor IAQ in the classrooms to student performance is limited. This study explores the student performance on standardized aptitude tests that are administered to students on a yearly basis,in parallel with classroom carbon dioxide concentrations. Data on classroom conditions and carbon dioxide concentrations (were recorded in 5th grade classrooms in fifty four schools within a Midwestern school district in the USA. Preliminary results are presented in the paper.
