Academic performance, high school students, multiple linear regressionAbstract
There have been many studies on the factors that affect students’ academic performance, but scholars have reached different conclusions, and many studies and analyses are still needed. The purpose of this essay is to identify the variables influencing high school students’ academic achievement. Using the method of multiple linear regression, 12 variables related to academic performance were selected, and a significant analysis of 2,392 high school students was carried out in 2024. In order to check the effectiveness of the operation, the residual test was conducted in this study. The results indicate that high school students’ academic achievement is positively correlated with the weekly study time, whether to participate in tutoring, whether to participate in extracurricular activities, whether to participate in sports, and the degree of parental support, and negatively correlated with the number of absenteeism. The students’ age, gender, ethnicity, parents’ education level and whether they participate in volunteer activities did not pass the significance test.
