This study was undertaken to test the impact of parent’s socio-economic status on academic performance of biology students in secondary school in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State. It was anchored on the fact that student from high socio-economic status perform better than student from low socio-economic status. Two hundred (200) respondents were drawn from 10 selected secondary school in the study area. Data was collected using the questionnaire and analyzed using the frequency distribution table to seek answers to the three (3) research questions. From the analysis it was found that the social status of biology students affects their academic performance in secondary school in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State, however the study revealed that parental educational background has an effect on the academic performance of students in biology. 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.
