Abstract: This study is conducted in Layyah District of South Punjab, Pakistan to explore the impact of socioeconomic status and qualifications of parents on academic achievement of the students at elementary school level. It involves 46 boys and 55 girls elementary schools in Tehsil Layyah, with a sample size of 581 students from grade VII and VIII. The study includes 16 boys and 12 girls schools in Tehsil Layyah (148 students), 8 boys and 16 girls schools in Tehsil Karor (125 students), and 22 boys and 27 girls schools in Tehsil Chobara (308 students). Data was collected through questionnaire and statistical analysis was done by using SPSS. Results reveal significant difference in academic achievements based on socioeconomic status indicating positive correlation between socioeconomic status, parental qualifications and academic performance. Students with a higher socioeconomic status revealed superior academic performance. The analysis also shows a significant relationship between socioeconomic status and academic achievement (p-value=0.000) at the 0.05 level of significance, with a strong correlation (r=0.734) between socioeconomic status and students' grades. This study provides valuable insights into the relationship between parental factors and students' academic performance in district Layyah. It suggests potential areas for further research, including exploring the impact of socioeconomic status on academic achievement across diverse school level.
