Objective: to identify factors related to stress due to academic overload in first, second- and third-years high school students according to current regulations in Ecuador.

In addition, the Academic Stress Scale was used, which evaluates eight dimensions: Methodological deficiencies of the teaching staff, academic overload of the student, academic performance, interventions in public, exams, lack of value of the contents, participation difficulties. The questionnaire integrates 54 items; the response method integrates a 5-point Likert-type estimation scale. The instrument was applied to 110 students from the city of Latacunga in Ecuador. Multivariate statistical techniques such as principal component analysis and descriptive statistics were used to analyze sociodemographic data.
Results: the results indicate that the factors related to academic stress are information management, the dimension of academic performance in students, exams and interventions in public, to which the students of the investigated educational institution are subjected.
Conclusions: students face various difficulties to execute the demands of the tasks. They are closely related to academic and performance stress, including those linked to human subjectivity such as emotions, feelings and experiences
