In the context of students in Physical Education, Health, and Recreation, critical thinking skills are essential to support academic achievement and professional skills in the field of sports. This study aims to evaluate the level of critical thinking skills and academic achievement of Physical Education, Health, and Recreation students at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP), Syiah Kuala University. The research employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design. The population consisted of all 2021 cohort students with a GPA above 3.5, totaling 56 students, who were selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and GPA documentation, and then analyzed using mean scores, standard deviation, and categorical level analysis. The results showed that the average level of students’ critical thinking skills was in the moderate category with an average score of 45, while academic achievement was also in the moderate category with an average score of 44. These findings indicate that the critical thinking skills of Physical Education, Health, and Recreation students at FKIP Syiah Kuala University still need to be improved in order to support optimal academic achievement.
