Wants influence children through a number of ways. Principally, the
class of the home background differs in poor and non-poor families.
Children in poor homes have less physical resources (books, toys,
educational games, and computers); they also get less learning
prospects and less cognitive stimulation (like reading to children,
engaging in activities that can develop them mentally) than
children in comfortable homes. This research work examines the
relationship between the socio-economic status of parents and
students' academic achievement. Questionnaires were administered to
students, teachers and students from ten randomly selected schools
in four local government areas of Ogun state, Nigeria. The income
group of parents, parental educational background and family size
were used as a measure of family social status. Chi square
statistics was used to analyse its findings. Parental
Socio-economic Status was discovered to have a significant and
substantive independent effect on students' academic outcome.
