Abstract

This study addresses whether parents’ socioeconomic status influences their children's academic achievement in a specific context: 10th graders at a vocational high school in Makassar City. The study employs the ex-post facto research method and a quantitative strategy, employing multiple linear regression analysis to test the hypotheses. The population of the study is the 132 10th-grade students at the vocational high school, and a sample of 62 students is selected at random using a systematic sampling method. Documentation and questionnaires are used to collect data, with the questionnaire used to collect information about parents’ socioeconomic status and student achievement. This study is expected to contribute to understanding the factors influencing student achievement, particularly socioeconomic status. By examining the relationship between parents’ socioeconomic status and student achievement, the study may identify potential intervention areas to improve student academic outcomes. In addition, the study's use of multiple linear regression analysis to examine the effect of parents’ socioeconomic status on student achievement contributes to the literature on this topic and makes a methodological contribution to education research. This study can potentially inform educational policies and interventions to improve students’ academic performance from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. It also demonstrates the importance of contextual factors when examining the relationship between parental socioeconomic status and student achievement.
