This study determined the relationship between the home environment and academic performance of the Grade 6 pupils of Tablang Elementary School. A total of forty pupils were the respondents of this study. This study used descriptive correlational method to determine the frequency and mean to process the data.
Based on the results, the majority of learners have access to home amenities at their disposal. Home amenities play a significant role in enhancing academic success. The majority of learners have stronger family dynamics inside their homes. The nature of their families supports their academic achievement, most of them establish a good relationship with their families at home. Family involvement fosters academic achievement, and parents' educational backgrounds primarily aid learners in achieving success in their studies. The family's financial aspect may also affect the learners' academic success.However, the least variable was about the proper support in school. The learners' academic achievement was significantly influenced by their home environment. The performance of the learners in the classroom improves when homes are conducive for learning. The relationship between the two factors was examined in this study, and the results indicate that there is no significant relationship between learners' home environments and academic achievement.

Excerpt from the Book
Introduction
Education is the imparting of knowledge, skills, and values. Academic self-concept relates to how well an individual appreciates learning. It can vary across academic disciplines and can be affected by evaluated experiences. Students with good academic records are those students who feel they can do well in their schoolwork. The foundation of a child’s life starts at home, which has an impact on individuals’ growth and development. Successful learners are goal-oriented, self-regulatory, and proactive. They also accept personal responsibility for their own learning.
Learning is the key to an achievable and desirable academic performance. However, not everyone excels academically. There are several factors why poor academic performance happens to individuals. These factors include home, peers, the school environment, and the comprehension skills of students. According to the study of Khan, et al. (2019), “It was universally agreed that the most influential factor among all the criteria discussed is the home environment. It is the first institution where a child begins to learn, and the mother is the baby's first instructor, while the other members of the family play the role of peers.”
Home environment is not an abstract concept. According to Younas and Noor (2020) the environment is well defined as an aggregate for internal and external situations affecting a person's existence, development, and welfare. It is the result of collaborative interaction with his /her environment. Moreover, Maigida and Ogwo (2013) state that home can also speed up or hinder academic attainment.
