| Abstract | Family plays a critical role in academic learning and achievement for students at all levels of study. Students who perform well in school are better able to make a transition to adulthood, achieve career and economic success and make a positive contribution to society. There is a paucity of research on the relationship between family size and high school student academic performance. As a result, the study investigates the influence of family size characteristics on the academic performance of Ghanaian high school students. The social survey technique was used in a quantitative approach. Using a simple random sampling technique, a structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 327 students. However, 262 sets of questionnaires were obtained from the respondents for review. For the data analysis, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used. The findings indicated that family size characteristics have an influence on high school students' academic performance. A small family influences academic performance more than a large family. The findings demonstrate the importance of family size in determining educational quality and perceived influence on academic performance. Furthermore, the findings revealed that a small family's basic needs are met with a smaller portion of the family's income than a large family's basic needs. Therefore, it is recommended that families consider family size and academic performance of their children when deciding on the number of children to have. |
