Summary/Abstract: The results of numerous studies at home and abroad indicate that there exists a positive relationship between academic achievement and sociometric status of secon- dary school students. The present study tries to investigate the existence of the rela- tionship between academic achievement and sociometric status of secondary school students in the class. Participating students (277) completed a questionnaire with aca- demic achievement measures and sociometric test which was used to determine so- ciometric status in the classroom. A comparison between boys’ and girls’ results was made. Pearson’s linear correlation was used to check the coefficients of correlation between all variables. Pearson’s linear correlation coefficients between examined variables were checked for boys and for girls separately. The results indicate that there is a relationship between academic achievement and sociometric status for the whole sample, but they imply the existance of differences in results for the subsample of the boys (N=98) and the girls (N=179).
