Book excerpt: This study examined the effect that participating in sports had upon academics for middle school students. The findings were that athletes scored higher than non-athletes on standardized tests, but the difference was significantly higher only for the seventh grade. In addition, sixth and seventh grade athletes had a significantly higher grade point average than non-athletes, while the eighth grade athletes were significantly higher only in two grading periods. The findings, also, determined that no significant difference could be found between the in-season and out-of-season grade point averages of athletes.
