Students' achievement
Poverty affects students' achievement negatively, where many studies had shown that low achiever students belong to families of low socio-economic status or to low income families. Maybe those families cannot prepare their children well for school, lack of resources, health and nutrition problems, all of these and other factors would affect students' learning negatively. But there are many examples of people who are from poor families and reach high education levels, maybe they worked hard and they found support from their teachers, families, or society. Also it has been shown that parental educational level and income have a significant effect on students’ achievement, where high achievement or successful students belong to higher parental education and income, and low achievement students belong to lower parental education and income. Highly educated families with high income and better jobs prepare their children better for school.
It is well known that parents' educational and socio-economical level affects the children performance and achievement. And as you mentioned these factors might have great effect on the children achievement at school, but also we cant forget and deny that there are many people who succeeded in schools and became famous even though they come from low socio-economic families. This can be related to their effort that is exerted and to their will that they want to succeed and get educated just like others. Thus a person's will can have great influence and it can change their lives.
