Above Average
Students with high levels of school spirit are significantly more likely than
students with low school spirit to say that they
perform well above average
in school academically
compared to other students (32% vs. 13%,
respectively). “School spirit means to support your school no matter what,”
said one student, “and to take pride in your achievements knowing your
school has helped you to reach your goals.”
These findings are supported by principals. “Students take pride in their
school’s name as a high-achieving high school,” said one principal.
The busier students are in school activities, the better they usually
perform academically.
