Sex, intelligence and educational achievement in a national cohort of over 175,000 11-year-old schoolchildren in England.
The high heritability of educational achievement reflects many genetically influenced traits, not just intelligence
TLDR
It is shown that other broad domains of behavior such as personality and psychopathology also account for genetic influence on GCSE scores beyond that predicted by intelligence, together with intelligence, which accounts for 75% of the heritability of GCSE.

TLDR
Intelligence and academic achievement were found to be significant predictors of performance of children at risk of dyslexia and children should be given intervention to improve their academic performance.

Predicting Academic Achievement with Cognitive Abilities: Cross-Sectional Study across School Education
TLDR
It was shown that it is possible to describe the structure of the relationship between cognitive abilities and academic achievement for all levels of schooling with a single model, and information processing speed is the key predictor of fluid intelligence, working memory, and number sense, which in turn contribute to individual differences in academic success.

Heritability of educational achievement in 12-year-olds and the overlap with cognitive ability.
TLDR
The aim of this study was to explore to what extent psychometric IQ and scholastic achievement, as assessed by the CITO high school entrance test, are correlated and whether this expected correlation was due to a common genetic background, shared or nonshared environmental influences common to CITo and intelligence, or a combination of these influences.
Genetic and Environmental Influences on the Development of Intelligence
TLDR
Genetic influences seem to be the main driving force behind continuity in general cognitive ability, represented by a common factor influencing FSIQ at all ages, and shared environmental influences are responsible for stability as well as change in the development of cognitive abilities.
Explaining individual differences in scholastic behaviour and achievement.
TLDR
The findings indicate that major individual difference dimensions like verbal ability and personality traits, have a strong influence on important outcome variables at school level, including academic performance, truancy, and antisocial behaviour.

TLDR
Reasoning tests make excellent baseline assessments for secondary schools and school effects on pupils' progress in the reasoning tests between age 10 and age 13 are relatively modest.

TLDR
Boys tend to be both the lowest and the highest performers in terms of their reasoning abilities, which warns against the danger of stereotyping boys as low achievers.
