INTRODUCTION
Background to the study
The importance of school location in secondary schools cannot be overemphasized. This is because, school location has tremendous influence in the quality of teaching students receives and the extent of attention they pay to lesson in school. This implies that schools that fail to provide the necessary learning facilities and create a conducive atmosphere for teaching and learning may hardly put in the best in their students especially in the area of academic achievement. This scenario has been among the reason for poor academic achievement of students in many primary/secondary schools in the study area.
The school is a social and learning agent that provides the environment upon which a child may be formally educated in order to attain educational goals Adebule, S.O. & Aborisade, O.J.

This is congruent with the common assertion of sociologists-that education can be an instrument of cultural change whose foundation begins from home. It is not out of place to imagine that parental socio— economic background can have effects on the academic achievement of children in school. Anything that affects the development environment of children will possibly affect their education or disposition to education. Parental status is one of such important variables in this regard.
There is underlying complexity of the factors affecting the performance of students in education attainment and this is what has prompted the current study. Despite the complexity of factors influencing students' achievement, a number of studies are pointing to the
