Frequency and simple percentages accustomed to analyze the demographic information and Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used for hypotheses 1, 2 and 3 while Multiple Regression was used for hypotheses 4. The outcome of the study revealed that there is a significant relationship between parental involvement student achievement in biology (r=.825, P<.05). There is a substantial connection between parent educational background and student achievement in biology (r=0.723, P<.05). Also, there is a significant and positive relationship between school factors and student attitude to biology (r=.905, P<.05). Considering the outcome of this study, recommendations were made as follows; Parents should provide a home environment that will fosters their children education and know how to provide support and encouragement for their offspring's success. Therefore, there is need for the Government, parents, and stakeholders in education to rise up to address the identified problems that led to the poor performances in sciences especially in biology.
