Keywords:

The objective of this article was to evaluate stress in children (1tst to 4th grade ) at a public school in São Paulo city and also to study the correlation between the presence or absence of stress and the children’s school
performance. 342 children were evaluated through the ESI (Escala de Stress Infantil) and their school performance was assessed on the basis of the average grade (A, B, C, D or E) given by their teachers in seven
different subjects. For statistical purposes, the average school performance grades were defined as: A-strong; B-medium; C-weak. The results did not show differences that were statistically significant. However,
they showed that 30,1% of the children had stress symptons and 38,2% of the children who had stress had also weak school performance.
