  • Abstract:
  • This research examines the long-term impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on student achievement through a longitudinal study. SES, encompassing factors such as family income, parental education, and occupation, is a well-established determinant of academic success. Using longitudinal data, this study tracks the academic performance of students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds over several years to understand the persistent effects of SES on educational outcomes. The study explores how early childhood experiences, school resources, and family support systems contribute to academic disparities across SES groups. Findings suggest that students from lower SES backgrounds consistently show lower academic achievement compared to their higher SES peers, with early cognitive development, access to quality educational resources, and parental involvement serving as significant mediators. The study also highlights the role of psychosocial factors such as stress and family stability in shaping academic performance. Finally, the research discusses the implications of these findings for educational policy and practice, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to bridge the achievement gap and provide equitable opportunities for all students. This longitudinal perspective underscores the importance of addressing SES-related disparities in education to foster long-term academic success and social mobility.
