The objective of the study was to identify and compare the presence of academic stress among adolescent school students and university students. The design was descriptive-comparative, with 320 Peruvian students participating, including males (n=166) and females (n=154) aged between 11 and 39 years (M=20.5, SD=5.32). The instrument used was the SISCO Academic Stress Inventory. The findings reveal that a moderate level of stress prevails (72.5%). There are differences according to gender in bodily responses (t=-1.891, p=.05, d=.21), coping (t=-2.213, p=.03, d=.25), and communicative coping (t=-1.929, p=.05, d=.22), stressors (t=-2.364, p=.02, d=.27), and stress in general (t=-2.643, p=.009, d=.29), with males reflecting a higher score. By age group, young people had higher scores in coping responses (t=-4.103, p=.001, d=.46) and communicative coping (t=-4.395, p=.001, d=.49), classroom stressors (t=-2.128, p=.034, d=.24), and stress in general (t=-2.689, p=.008, d=.30). It is concluded that, during the COVID-19 pandemic and virtual education, both schoolchildren and university students presented multiple manifestations derived from academic stress.El objetivo del estudio fue identificar y comparar la presencia de estrés académico entre estudiantes escolares adolescentes y universitarios.

El instrumento utilizado fue el Inventario de estrés académico SISCO. Los hallazgos revelan que prevalece un nivel moderado de estrés (72.5%). Se presentan diferencias según sexo en las respuestas corporales (t=-1.891, p=.05, d=.21), afrontamiento (t=-2.213, p=.03, d=.25) y afrontamiento comunicativo (t=-1.929, p=.05, d=.22), causantes del estrés (t=-2.364, p=.02, d=.27) y estrés en general (t=-2.643, p=.009, d=.29), siendo los varones quienes reflejan un puntaje mayor. Por grupo etario, son los jóvenes quienes presentan mayores puntajes en respuestas de afrontamiento (t=-4.103, p=.001, d=.46) y afrontamiento comunicativo (t=-4.395, p=.001, d=.49), estresores del aula (t=-2.128, p=.034, d=.24) y estrés en general (t=-2.689, p=.008, d=.30). Se concluye que, durante la pandemia por la COVID-19 y la educación virtual, tanto escolares como universitarios presentaron múltiples manifestaciones derivadas del estrés académico
