Abstract

It is evident that students can come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and this may be a factor that influences their academic performance. This study was determined to examine the correlation of socioeconomic status (SES) and academic performance of senior high school students in Leyte Normal University. A correlational research design was used to investigate the relationship between socioeconomic status, as measured by parents’ highest educational attainment, occupational status, and average monthly family income, and academic performance, as measured by the respondents’ first semester general weighted average (GWA). A sample of 108 senior high school students from the STEM and HumSS strands, which completed an online survey questionnaire that assessed their socioeconomic profile and academic performance. Following the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (Pearson r), the results displayed a significant correlation between SES and academic performance, indicating that students from higher SES backgrounds tend to have a higher GWA than those from lower SES backgrounds.
