Key Points of Study:
Question  What are the educational achievements at the final examination of compulsory schooling in Denmark among individuals with or without a mental disorder?
Findings  In this nationwide cohort study of 629 622 individuals, 52% of those with a mental disorder took the final examination compared with 88% of those without a mental disorder. Students with a mental disorder who took the examination attained considerably lower grades on the examination.
Meaning  The findings of this study suggest that a mental disorder in childhood or adolescence is associated with lower educational achievements and that additional educational support for these individuals may be needed.
