Why is School-Based Health Important? Physically and emotionally healthy children are more likely to achieve academic success as they experience fewer school absences and are better able to focus and learn while in school. Students who regularly attend school earn higher grades, score higher on standardized tests, and are more likely to graduate high school. Given this inextricable link between health and education, school-based health initiatives help ensure students are in school, healthy and ready to learn through partnerships between schools and districts and health care providers.
