    The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between oral problems, quality of life, and academic performance in schoolchildren aged 11 to 14 years in the province of Cañete - 2022. The research has a quantitative approach, deductive method, applied type, and observational design. The sample consisted of 126 students aged 11 to 14 years. Data collection was carried out using the Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ 11-14) which has been validated in Spanish, dental records, and students' grade records. The results showed that 94.4% had dental caries, and regarding malocclusions, it was found that 89.7% of the 126 students needed orthodontic treatment, while only 7.9% had dental trauma lesions. The descriptive values of the CPQ 11-14 were 34.96±23.4. Regarding academic performance, 85.7% of students passed. The conclusion is that, despite a high incidence of caries and the need for orthodontic treatment, there is no significant association with quality of life. Furthermore, even though poor oral conditions are evident, they do not correlate with academic performance.
