Parents socio-economic status was discovered to significantly affects biology students’ academic performance in the study area, therefore, recommended among other things that Government at all levels should give adequate attention to school by equipping them with required learning facilities so that students from poor background can also acquire a qualitative education like their counter parts from well to do families.
