The health of young people is strongly linked to their academic success, and the academic success of youth is strongly linked with their health.


  • Thus, helping students stay healthy is a fundamental part of the mission of schools. After all, Schools cannot achieve their primary mission of education if students and staff are not healthy.
  • Health-related factors, such as hunger, chronic illness, or physical and emotional abuse can lead to poor school performance.
  • Health-risk behaviors such as substance use, violence, and physical inactivity are consistently linked to academic failure and often affect students’ school attendance, grades, test scores and ability to pay attention in class.
