We pretended to establish whether there was a relation effect between sociometric status and gender on academic achievement in a sample of 156 students (88 female and 68 males) secondary students from a well-known public school in Valledupar (Colombia). Sociometric status was evaluated according to pair nomination to categorize students in six groups: popular, rejected, excluded, controverted, average and non-classified. The variance analysis did not show a significant effect of the interaction sociometric status -- gender on academic achievement, although there was shown an independent significant effect of the two main variables. In the post-hoc testing a direct relation between achievement and social preference and between achievement and social impact as well, and a significant difference between controverted males and females.
