Description
The relationship between the Socioeconomic Status (SES) of students and their
academic 'achievement was examined in this study. The research was carried
out on a randomly selected sample of 623 Junior Secondary School students
from four secondary schools in Ado-Odo, Ota, Ogun State. The parental
educational and occupational background was used as a measure of family
social status. Student achievement is a score of the standardized Junior
Secondary School Examination in English language organized by National
Examination Council [NECO]. Parental Social Economic Status in particular has
a significant and substantive independent effect on individual academic
achievement.
