Two hundred Fine-Art students of both sexes from selected ten schools were used as sample size. The result is that all four hypotheses were rejected. The educational standard of parents has relationship on students’ performance, also occupation of parents has relationship with students achievement and performance in Fine-Arts. It was also discovered that both socio-economic status and the family size (monogamy/ polygamy) have no relationship with academic performance of the students in Fine-Arts. As a result of the analysis recommendations were made in order to improve the academic performance of students in Fine Arts from low socio-economic, broken and polygamous homes.
