I. Introduction
Education is one of the most powerful tools in the world and children who are granted
the best education that they can get often go on to make the world better for
themselves and for others (Adrian, 2019).
A parent child relationship characterized by nurturing, acceptance and encouragement

as well as parents' experiences to the child needs correlates with positive academic
performance. However according to the university of Minnesota extension parental
overprotectiveness, authoritarianism, disapproval and punishment often have a negative
relationship with violents' academic performance (Grin, 2017).
It is also important for students to enhance a learning style or suitable studying habits
that will help them keep focused on their ultimate goal which is academics. According
to an English teacher is Apapper Complex School, Aminadhad Niyonshuti when it
comes to organization and building effective studying skills, such habits are important.
Educators maintain that while studying habits maybe overlooked, there are numerous
benefits that come along with it (Atieno, 2019)
Literature points out that poor financial status affects academic performance, mental
and physical well- being, and even their ability to find employment after graduation
(Bodvarsson and Walker, 2004; Lyons, 2003; Lyons, 2004 in Dikko et. al. 2014).
Peer group has a significant influence on academic performance of students. This

finding is not in isolation to other findings on the influence of peer group on student
academic performance. Additionally, relationships from close friends being girls or boys
had been associated with academic performance on one hand; and on the other hand.
Peer influence is the primary contextual factor contributing to student’s tendency to
make risky decisions as observed by Zimring (1998 in Anwanane, 2019).
II. Questions
1. What are the dominant factors affecting the academic performance of senior
high school students in public and private school?
2. Are there any significant differences on the factors that affect the academic
performance of the senior high school students as to academic institution, age,
sex, and economic status?
3. How does the environment affect the academic performance of the senior high
school students in public and private schools?

III. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Families
Families affect children’s learning behaviors and academic achievement in important

ways, as they are the primary and most significant environments that the children are
exposed to. Families may play even more important roles in student’s academic
achievement than schools and communities in Coleman’s report (1966 in Li and Qiu,
2018).
In the present study, parents’ relationship with their children and the attitudes which
parents express towards their children especially affection-negligence, supervision, love
and appreciation in any academic or daily living activities as well as children’s
perception towards their parents like parental relationships, parents’ behavioral and
emotional patterns, and their overall attitudes towards their children etc. Parent-child
interaction has long been considered to have a crucial influence on a child’s academic
performance and development (Prindle and Resinski, 1989; Van Meter, 1994; Barnard
and Kelly, 1990 in Islam et. al., 2015).
Study habits
Contributes significantly in the development of knowledge and perceptual capacities.

Study habits tell a person that how much he will learn and how far he wants to go, and
how much he wants to earn. Therefore it is assumed that study habits are correlates of
scholastic or academic achievement (Mubarak, 2017).
Adeyemo and Gbore argue that study habits have strong relationship with the academic
performance of students. A student who cultivates certain study habit will perform
differently from a student who has another set of study habit. It is believed that student
who lacks effective and efficient means of studying would be building on shaking
foundation and consequently have weak foundation. The teachers teach all the students
collectively but all the students do not have the same grades, here we see
underachievers and high achievers. One of the reasons that students fail to make good
an effort to learn what their teachers taught them in the school and also do not study
at home because they fail to recognize the importance of study habits to their academic
achievement (Sakirudeen et. al., 2017).

Financial Status
According to Bulus and Dang (2015), the choice of school, learning environment is
determined by the financial status of such individual’s parents. Many students have no
choice on the type of school they desire to enroll, since their parent cannot afford such
school demand. The research work reveals that both parent of upper and lower class
status have equal concern for their children most especially in area of home training,
extra lesson, upbringing among others; but financial accessibility become the major
challenge especially for students.
IV. Summary
This study is focused on the factors affecting the academic performance of the grade 11
senior high school students in public and private school. It also reminds us that
education is a prodigious moment that happened in us, it is the best recipe we can have
to achieve a successful life. Education is quite meliorating around the world and it is
pretty prideful.
