    The present study examined the effect of academic stress on academic performance through school students’ interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers, considering potential gender differences. Specifically, we tested whether the quality of interpersonal relationships with peers (classmates) and with teachers mediated the association between academic stress and academic performance. The sample consisted of 1,273 Chilean students from Primary Education (Grades 5–8) and Secondary Education (Grades 9–12). Participants’ mean age was 14.20 years (SD = 2.43; range = 10–19), with 47.5% identifying as female (n = 605), 48.0% as male (n = 611), and 4.5% as non-binary (n = 57). Measures included the School Daily Stress Scale, the Interpersonal Relationship Quality Scale, and students’ mean grade point average for the current academic year. Mediation analyses indicated a significant negative effect of school-related academic stress on academic performance. Moreover, high-quality interpersonal relationships—with both peers and teachers—showed a positive and significant mediating effect, particularly relationships with peers, in fostering students’ achievement outcomes. Analysis of the gender covariate revealed that female and non-binary students were more adversely affected, as academic stress was asso-ciated with a lower quality in their positive interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers.
