According to a study done in Virginia by the American Psychological Association, schools where the bullying climate is more severe report three to six percent lower standardized test scores than schools where anti-bullying is a priority.
Researchers collected results from over 7,300 ninth grade students and 3,000 teachers from 284 high schools in Virginia. Researchers remarked that these findings point out the poor effects bullying has within a school.
