The purpose of this study was to establish whether a correlation exists between childrens birth weight and their scholastic achievements in high school. This correlation has previously only been investigated only in primary school children and it was felt that it would be interesting to observe whether schooling changed the known status. The records of 718 children were reviewed and there appears to be a statistically significant disability for low birth weight children in the study of exact sciences and foreign languages whilst no significant differences were noted in the humanities and sport.
