This question refers to the article "Students’ Work Ethic Affected by Peer Groups, Desire to Be Popular" by Shankar Vedantam.

In this text, we are told about an experiment designed to test the effects of peer pressure on academic success. We are told that researchers Leonardo Bursztyn at UCLA and Robert Jensen at the Wharton School went into four low-income LA schools and offered 11th grade students access to free SAT prep courses. They found that students sitting in honors classes were more likely to sign up for the SAT prep course. Moreover, they also found that students were 11% less likely to sign up for classes if they believed that their peers were going to find out about their choice. This shows that students are heavily influenced by the opinions of their peers, and that they are more likely to worry about the impression they make than about the outcome of their studies.
