Abstract
In summary my research was investigating how social economic
factors, positively or negatively affect academic performance. The
research was carried out in Makueni District Kenya between the month
of January ( 2007) to March 2007. My respondents were form four
students of St. Annes Kiboko secondary school. Other researchers
have also researched on relationship between social economic factors
and academic performance. This is what made me to decide to find out
whether this was true by carrying out study in St. Annes Kiboko
secondary school. I used direct observation method and questionnaires
to collect my data. In statistical treatment of data, I used frequency
tables, percentages and bar graphs in my data presentation. From
statistical treatment of data and presentation, it is clear that economic
status of parents affect their students academic performance. Family
class also affect academic performance as shown on the graph under
presentation of findings.
