The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of parents’ socio-economic status on the academic performance of Yamfo Anglican Senior High School Students in the Tano North District of the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana. In order to have an adequate representation of the population of the study, eighty (80) students were selected from the second year class using a simple random sampling technique.
