A better alignment between chronotype and school timing is associated with lower grade retention in adolescents

G. R. Ferrante, A. P. Goldin, et al.

This groundbreaking study by Guadalupe Rodríguez Ferrante, Andrea P. Goldin, Mariano Sigman, and María Juliana Leone explores how the timing of school affects grade retention in adolescents. Findings reveal that students with later chronotypes fare better academically if their classes are scheduled in the morning, highlighting the importance of aligning educational experiences with biological rhythms.

Abstract
This study investigates the impact of school timing and chronotype on grade retention in adolescents. Students were randomly assigned to one of three school timings (morning, afternoon, evening). Results show that later chronotypes have higher odds of grade retention only in the morning, suggesting that aligning school timing with students' biological rhythms may improve academic success.
