The present article analyzes the relationship between class time dedicated to Physics and school performance in students of 1st Unified General High School (1BGU) in Ecuadorian institutions, the objective was to determine the significant correlation between class time and grade point average, as well as the dispersion of these grades. A quantitative approach was adopted, with a non-experimental and cross-sectional design. Data were obtained from educational institutions with different types of support and time load in Physics, having a sample composed of five institutions selected by a non-probabilistic sample by convenience. The data obtained were analyzed by means of a parametric statistical test using Pearson's bivariate correlation to determine the relationship between class time and performance variables. The results indicate a strong and significant negative correlation between time and dispersion, but a positive correlation with reduced significance between time and averages, which leads to the conclusion that class time contributes to school performance, although it is not the only determining factor.
