Impact of low-socioeconomic status on students academic performance

Purpose: The focus and purpose of this study is to show the relationship between low socioeconomic status and students' academic performance. This study examines, discusses, and evaluates low socioeconomic backgrounds in the context of the school systems, parental involvement, resources, and teaching strategies available to students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Findings indicate that families from low socioeconomic backgrounds experience fewer opportunities academically than those from higher economic backgrounds; however, these findings do not all touch on cultures and ethnicities among all students of low socioeconomic status. Further research on this topic is essential to better support these students and improve their access to education and social justice.
