This study was conducted with 450 elementary school students (50% girls) enrolled in 1<sup>st</sup> to 4<sup>th</sup> grades. PAL was assessed by self-reported questionnaire of typical physical activity and daily food intake (DAFA). </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ";Times New Roman";,serif; mso-fareast-font-family: ";Arial Unicode MS";; mso-hansi-font-family: ";Arial Unicode MS";; mso-bidi-font-family: ";Times New Roman";; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">Academic achievement (Portuguese and Mathematics) was </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ";Times New Roman";,serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">estimated based on the academic performance system of public schools from Recife/Brazil. Binary logistic regression was used to verify the association between unhealthy weight (underweight and overweight) and normal weight with academic performance. The results showed that 26.6% of the students presented overweight, 11.1% presented underweight, 49.1% and 50.9% were classified as high and low PAL, respectively. In addition, 56.9% had sufficient academic performance in Portuguese and 51.1% had sufficient academic performance in Mathematics. Students with overweight presented higher <em>odds</em> for insufficient  performance in Portuguese when compared to normal weight counterparts, even when adjusted for reported PAL, gender and age (OR = 1.69; 95%CI: 1.08-2.64). The results corroborate with evidences that unhealthy weight is associated with poor academic performance in children.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ";Times New Roman";,serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
