The Effects of Pubertal Development on Achievement during Adolescence.

Dubas, Judith Semon; And Others

American Journal of Education, v99 n4 p444-60 Aug 1991

Investigation of the roles of pubertal timing and pubertal status on school achievement for 115 boys and 137 girls followed through grades 6, 7, and 8 indicates that late-maturing boys have the lowest school achievement, whereas late-maturing girls have the highest. Followups at grade 12 indicate few long-term effects. (SLD)
