Academic achievements play an important role in an individual’s professional

development, and are also considered one of the main characteristics of an education

system. Academic achievements are associated with multiple factors, including the social

environment of students. In this paper we review the studies that use stochastic actor-

oriented models to examine the effects of social networks on academic achievements.

We consider both the results and designs of existing studies and outline potential avenues

for future research. We demonstrate that the majority of studies analyze the networks of

positive relationships in schools. Only a few studies are based on data from universities.

We also conclude that the majority of studies are based on data from western democracies.

These findings can be considered as a basis for further empirical analysis.
