Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explore the relationships between level of social support (from teachers and peers) and perception of school environment: general attitude toward school, academic achievement and level of school stress. The study was conducted in 2013 within the framework of the international HBSC study, on a group of 3346 students aged 11–15 years; 47.7% boys; 17.6% with chronic conditions. Four patterns of relations with teachers and peers were identified by the use of the cluster analysis methods (k-means methods). Analysis were done separately for the healthy students and students with chronic conditions. School functioning was associated with perceived of social support. Healthy students, compared with students with chronic conditions, more frequently were high level of social support from two sources simultaneously (from teachers and peers). Among students with chronic conditions more important was the support from peers rather than teachers. Interventions should be directed at the integration of healthy students and students with chronic conditions.
