    Despite numerous policies and social programs promoted by the government to eradicate malnutrition, anemia remains a significant issue in our country. The aim was to determine the relationship between anemia and school performance at the Chavinillo-Ventanilla Educational Institution. The research was a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study. 100 children aged 6 to 12 years from 1st to 6th grade were studied. Samples were taken and processed at the clinical laboratory of the Norbert Wiener University. The results show a relationship between the described variables, indicating a significant relationship between poor performance and children with anemia. However, no significant relationship was found between regular or poor performance and children with anemia. Conclusion: Although the correlation between anemia and poor school performance is direct and positive, there are also determining factors. In our study, it was observed that mothers with primary education were a major factor influencing the children's performance. The goal of eradicating anemia is possible, but it requires commitment from the national government and local authorities.
