The scores of their class achievement contained: (1) the total achievement of each class, including Chinese class, health and sports class, mathematics class, life class, social class, artistic and humane class, nature and life scientific class, and comprehensive class; (2) the final class achievement at the end of the semester. The measures of perceptual motor ability achievement of students were performed using the Quick Neurological Screening Test (QNST). The statistical significances of coefficient correlation were calculated by using Pearson’s product-moment correlation. The results in this study demonstrated that there were significant differences (p<. 05) between the perceptual motor ability and the class achievement of elementary school students, regardless of their genders and the grades they attended, except for the scores from third grade’s comprehensive class, fifth grade’s mathematics class, fifth grade’s social class, and fifth grade’s nature and life scientific class. Finally, the formula for prediction of the final class achievement was: Final class achievement (Z score) = (-. 449) ＊ perceptual motor ability (Z score)
