Many, many factors can affect academic performance, which means how a person does on schoolwork. The physical condition of the student has a great deal to do with that person's ability to do a good a good job on anything and to understand anything. For example, if the student has poor eyesight, he or she might not be able to read well. If the student has a hearing impairment, he or she might not be able to listen to and understand instructions. If the student has a disease, it might impair his or her ability to do the required work. A student's socio-economic status (SES) can affect his or her ability to perform well academically. Students with less money might not be able to purchase school supplies that could help them with their work -- rulers, paper, pens, computers, books, etc. Students with less money might not visit their doctors and dentists very often and might suffer from undiagnosed illnesses or dental problems that cause pain or otherwise impair the student's ability to perform well. Students with less money might have household responsibilities that wealthier students do not have -- babysitting for younger kids while the parents work second and third jobs, working for money outside of school, or spending homework time waiting in line for food at a food shelter. Low SES students might live in difficult conditions without electricity or water, and might have to go away from home to take a shower, brush their teeth, have breakfast, and wash their clothing. All these extra responsibilities can take time and make life difficult for low SES kids. On the other hand, wealthier students might have distractions that poorer kids do not experience -- games, sports, cars, pets might distract a well-off student from school work, so low SES conditions are not the only SES factors that can affect academic performance.

The school itself can have a huge effect on student academic performance. Good teachers, nice people, comfortable chairs, a violence- free classroom, a decent school lunch, support and help from friends, and a rich literary environment with plenty of books, computers, maps, laboratories, and other learning aids can help a student to perform well in school.

A student's strong will to learn and do well in school can affect academic performance immeasurably. A student who wants to do well and who works hard at doing well can usually succeed with practice and good feedback from teachers. A very strong determination to do well might be the most important factor in successful academic, and all other factors, in addition to expectations of the school and society, can bolster that basic will to succeed.
