Abstract


Abstract: Does Parental Income and Education Improve Academic Achievement A Case of Public High School Students at Tangerang Municipality. Objectives: The study aims to examine the relationship between parents socioeconomic status and the academic achievement of public high school students in Tangerang City. Methods: This research is a cross-sectional survey of 660 public high school students—the primary data was obtained through a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. The questionnaires were distributed to the participants using the students WhatsApp groups. The author used a binary logit regression model for data analysis. Findings: The results showed that socioeconomic status significantly impacts on academic achievement. Parents with high socioeconomic status are more likely to improve their childs academic results. Meanwhile, the composition of parents socioeconomic status that contributes more dominantly to increasing academic achievement is the fathers income and education and the mothers education, but not the mothers income and asset. Conclusion: Thus, one of the determinants of the academic achievement of high school students is the socioeconomic condition of their parents. The results of this study provide not only an expansion of the education science and education economics literature but also empirical implications for parents and secondary education policymakers.

Keywords: academic achievement, parental income, parent education.
