underperformers


Explanation:
As nouns the difference between underachiever and underperformer. is that underachiever is one who underachieves by performing less well than expected while underperformer is one who or that which underperforms, having performance that is below average or below expectations

There is a subtle but extraordinarily important difference between the two.

If you’re underperforming that’s on you.

If you’re underachieving you might just have set your targets out of sight for the circumstances that you find yourself in.

agree  Milena Atanasova: In my opinion, students'performance is assessed by means of whether they pass exams, which are landmark achievements. By contrast, workers don't score landmark achievements and are instead assessed through how well "perform" day-to-day.

  -> Thanks Milena. The border between your answer and mine is really fuzzy, but the nuance is there.
