The common word lazy can apply here.

lazy

  1. : not liking or willing to act or work

He was a bad student because he was lazy.

In this context, lazy implies that he did not do his work or study.

Specifically, to suggest that a student did not want to study, you could say

  1. disinterested
    : not having the mind or feelings engaged : not interested
    He was a bad student because he was disinterested (in school, studies, etc).
  2. apathetic
    : having little or no interest or concern : indifferent
    He was a bad student because he was apathetic (towards school, studies, etc).
