This study highlights the relationship between student achievement and household education process and status factors. Countless studies have found that the higher a student’s social class, the more likely he or she is to do well in school and to continue his or her education further. Whatever measures of socio-economic status researchers use – family income, parents education, parents’ occupation, and whatever measure of academic achievement they employ –grades, test scores, course failures, dropout rates and years of schooling, the results are the same.
