The research is a descriptive research designed in survey model. A quantitative research methods was used. Personal Information Form prepared by the researchers and Presenteeism Scale for Students were used as data collection tools in the study. 705 high school students who attend BILSEM and project schools in Bursa participated in the research. In the study, it was found that students' level of presenteeism did not differ statistically according to gender and attendance at BILSEM, but differed according to grade level and school type. It has been observed that science high school students focus more on the school academically than Anatolian high school students, they feel included in the school environment not only physically but in every sense when they are at school, they feel high sense of belonging to their school, they are better than the Anatolian high school students in focusing on the lesson, managing their stress and completing their homework. It is suggested that an in-depth examination together with different variables for other research studies, to reveal the presenteeism levels of students especially who have passed certain academic processes, exams and tests and who are considered more successful than other students, will be guided for future studies.
