There are parents whose work do not give time for their children as such the students are affected negatively Duke, (2000), Sewell, William and Robert, Hauser (1975). This study also could aid children of various families to be aware and bear in mind with their parents in ability to provide them with all the necessary requirements in schools. It consists of two sets.

Social stratification arises out of the recognition in all societies people are ranked or evaluated at a number of levels of social class is common to most societies ancient or modern. And more often than not, the educational performance of students from such family suffer serious setback. Azhar, Nadeem, Naz, Perveen and Sameen (2015).A family could be classified as either of high or low socio-economic status. Finding the correlation between academic performance and socioeconomic status can …
There is a significant relationship between parental socio-economic status and children’s social adjustment. The study examined the effect of socio-economic status of parents on the academic performance of secondary school students in Nigeria. Parental background with talk about whether parents of children is high socio-economic status, middle or low socio-economic status as a long way to play in the performance of students in technical Colleges. Formal education is the demonstration of such desires to effectively and efficiently build a sound and strong economy. Education is the best legacy parents can give to their children. Education is the best legacy parents can give to their children. Socio-Economic StatusFinally, the research when completed may add to available literature and may encourage further research on the topic.It would be much demanding to undertake a complete study of the effects of socio-economic status of parents on the academic performance of students in Lagos metropolis and due to logistics constraint on the researcher, only five schools will be sampled, sampled schools are selected based on their metropolitan population characteristics.The study is likely to be confined to senior secondary school (ss1) students of the selected schools. The researcher used questionnaire for the collection of data from the respondents.

This enable the researchers to get responses from teacher and students. It is generally believed that the basis for any true development must commence with the development of human resource.
In most families, either or none of parents may be earning income sufficient enough to sustain the family, faced with malnutrition and other emotional and psychological effects, the mental development of the child would be greatly retarded.
It is therefore, evident that students’ performance is contingent on the stimulus the home offers.The agrarian and large families have accounted for the polygamous life of people. This is because such parents might not be able to afford the cost funding education for the children.Other factors may affect the education performance of students like separation on grounds of different working station, divorce or even natural death can bring adverse effect on the growth and development of a child.The gap in performance between students and academic excellence constitute a great source of worry and serious concern as well as discomfiture to both parents, schools mangers, policy makers and various governments responsible for the education of students’ in secondary school schools.
Experience has shown that among the secondary school students’ there exist some differences which influence students academic performance, such as some students’ being able to pay their school fees promptly, while others were often sent away for nonpayment of school fees, some students have problem with the provision of school uniform but others do not. It’s formula is given as∑ = Summation signO = Observed dataE = Expected dataThis test has a level of significance of 0.05 with degree of freedom as one (1) and two (2) where necessary.The questionnaire is the outcome of the intensive process of validation. When the family succeeds in teaching and impacting good values in their children, the country becomes a better place to live. There is a significant gender difference in academic performance of both male and female due to parental socio-economic status. Teachers also have a role to play by making sure these students are well taught, occupied with assignments and class-work so as to create sense of seriousness in them. Numerous factors have been identified in various research studies to be responsible for the continuous declining of our educational system. To such a child, luck, rather than vigorously planned work appears to be reason for success.According to Rothesetein (2004) the social class of parents are fundamental to the individual’s educational and vocational decisions. It is therefore, evident that students’ performance is contingent on the stimulus the home offers.The agrarian and large families have accounted for the polygamous life of people. Out of 200 students used for the study, majority asserted to this and the alternate hypothesis was accepted.
