[The evaluation of the scholastic performance of a population from the suburbs of Barcelona].
The results of a descriptive study of 355 primary school students aged 6-14 years are reported. The students performance was evaluated with several sociocultural and clinical descriptive variables. The major results were: 1) The high rate of children from immigrant families (78%); 2) The correct age of the beginning of school attendance (98%); 3) The high rate of student failure (28.3%). There was a statistically significant correlation between the level of the students performance and neonatal disease, psychomotor development, height, age at beginning school, educational parental level, district of residence and familial sociopathy. There was no significant relation with other variables (sex, parental origin, chronic disease, number of siblings, parental working status, familial language, type of school or attendance to the school dining room).
