Summary HI!! I need help with this summary, I need it for a school work :) Thank you!!! There are many factors that can affect to the academic performance of our students. This paper focuses on extracurricular activities effects in our students, but also were checked, other factors that may be affecting school performance. The research found that the students who participated in extracurricular activities had better performance than who did not participate in these activities. In addition, students who participate in sport or artistic activities or combine artistic and academic activities had higher academic achievement than other students. On the other hand, it was found that there were no differences in academic performance based on their gender. It was also shown that when the number of siblings was high, descended the students results. In case of repeating students the results were less than those who were not repeating. Finally, parent aspects were also tested such as age and education. When parents were older, studens had higher performance than students whose parents were younger. In addition, it was found that mother education could influence in children achievement. The higher level of mother education represented a higher performance of their children.
