Peers seem to matter for students’ academic functioning in both elementary and secondary education, with stronger effects on academic engagement and well-being than academic achievement. It is important that students are well-embedded in their peer network, with positive social positions in order to feel good and achieve well. Moreover, it seems meaningful to distinguish between different social contexts, to take into account timing differences in peer processes, as well as differences in strength and directions of friendship selection and influence processes in academic functioning.
Future studies can increase our understanding on social network processes in students’ academic functioning by gathering more specific data on social relationships and by using recent developments in social network analyses when studying complex social networks and behaviors.
