Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is to measure academic and non-academic achievement of high school students through creating student clusters alongside the different factors of health-behaviour and academic achievement. The sample contains 48 high schools from the seven regions of Hungary and from Budapest, involving students from each grades (from 9th to 12th) (n = 2 864). Cluster analysis was made and four student clusters were created called deviant (poor health-behaviour and academic achievement), phlegm (higher health-awareness, but lower academic performance), stressful (good health-behaviour, but poor mental health and academic achievement) and balanced (higher health-awareness and good subjective academic performance) students. Regarding gender, grade and location, significant differences could be detected in the proportion of the cluster memberships.
