A cross sectional study was conducted in vo lving 641 students oC the two primary schools ofrnTeda town. North Gonder. The purpose of the study was to determine the nutritional andrnintestinal parasitic in fection (!PI) status of the chi ldren, the effect of IPI and nutritional statusrnon the children's academic performance, and the effect of I PIon nutrition. Data were collectedrnusing questionnai re and anthropometric measurements. Physical and stool examinations werernalso carried out. Schoo l average scores were obtainedfi'OITI school records. The data werernentered. processed and analysed using EPr In fo version 6, computer software (and itsrnsubprogram EPINUT). Underweight and stunting were fou nd to be 59.8% and 41.7%rnrespective ly, whereas the overalllPI rate was 77.7%. The commonest infection was Ascarisrnlumbricoides with prevalence of66.7%, followed by Entameba histolytica with prevalence ofrn14.8%. Low than high pupils' school average score was significantly associated withrnunderweight, X2 = 39.45, (p value < 0.000 1), and with stunting, X = 19.79, (p < 0.00 1).rnIntestinal parasitic infection did not show any association with the nutritional status and schoolrnperformance of the children. A higher proportion of the yo unger than the older age group wasrnunderweight, OR = 1.86 (95% CI = 1.32,2.64). Also higher proportion of the urban studentsrnthan that of the rural ones were underweight, OR = 2.25 (95% cr = 1.59, 3. 18), and arnsign ifican tly higher proportion of the urhan than the rural students were stunted. The town andrnthe rural students were not different regarding to 11' 1. This survey should sensit ize concernedrnbodi es for improving primary school chi ldren's health and nutrition. Recommendations arernmade to take actions to alleviate the IPI and nutritional problems of the school children.
