Children's enrollment and school attainment are critical issues as it is at such a stage of their development that children acquire competencies that determine their future. Therefore, understanding the determinants of enrollment and school attainment is important, especially in rural setting where communities face existential challenges. This paper investigates the factors of children's enrollment and school attainment in a rural environment using a probit and ordered multinominal logit models. The sample size is 1,151 children from randomly selected households in the Plateau district in Benin (West Africa). We found that children living with their parents, in large and endowed households (assets-based metric) are more likely to be enrolled and achieve higher grade. Also, girls are observed to be disadvantaged in comparison to boys in terms of schooling and grade attainment.
