School Performance in Adolescence

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Adolescent Health Psychology

Abstract

Schools are the one location where virtually all children and youth are present. High school graduation, the culmination of an individual’s high school education, is important with regard to the individual’s future earnings and the economy of the entire country. School performance (grades) and attendance are the two most critical variables affecting high school graduation. In spite of that, multiple factors can influence school performance in adolescence. These include disability, self-regulation, social and emotional functioning, chronic illness, exposure to trauma, and factors such as obesity, pregnancy, bullying, or a combination of these. This chapter reviewed each of these with respect to their influence on school performance.
