Is there anything in particular I should be doing to raise academics?

The "optimal" way to raise all social stats revolves around Game Panic, a store at the Mall. It rotates what stat it raises by the day Charm -> Courage -> Academics. With Charm on Monday. It loops, and Sunday it doesn't help with social stats. It gives a +4 boost to the stat (these values are hidden, but for comparison, studying in your room at night is only +2). Problem is, it costs money to use Game Panic and early game unless you grind it'll make you broke very quick.

Something you may want to know is that generally speaking, you want to spend your After-School/Day period on Social Links because almost all links in FES are daytime. Only 2 take place at night. So night should be when you focus on social stats (and Tartarus of course.)

I won't overwhelm you with more min-max style tips on this unless you ask for them, but my recommendation for Academics would be: If you feel you have money to spare, visit Game Panic (It helps Academics on Wednesday and Saturday.) If you don't have the money or it's not one of those days and you don't want to spend it on another stat, then just study at night. It's not as effective, but it is free.

Also, on occasion (kind of like Kawakami's Link's benefits in class from P5) you'll be given the option to stay awake for the lesson or take a nap. Always stay awake. It's free academics points, the lesson usually is on the test, and napping just improves your condition which isn't worth missing the Academics.
