Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess some of the
prominent factors that are supposed to cause disparity in
academic performance in eight selected elementary school
pupils in Eastern Gojjam r egl on . The study involves 360
randomly selected students .
The results suggested that the exposure o f students to
urban-rural settings remarkably contributed to academic
performance differences which in turn, caused difference in
scholastic achievements between them. Moreover, sex, attitude
and teachers' expectation were found to affect students
achievement where as family educational background was not
that much important in academic performance of students.
The practical implications of these results to the policy
and practices of education are indicated.
