The primary data were collected from 90 sample students through separate structured questionnaire from preparatory students of Sawla preparatory school using the simple random sampling technique. The secondary data was collected from office of school director records, internet, books and other different source which are published and unpublished. Linear regression model and descriptive analysis were used to analyze the data collected from respondents. the finding of the Linear regression model reveals that: the average grade point of students was positively and statistically significant affected by: Annual income, class attendance, family occupation, study hour, reference book and place of study. Negatively and significantly influenced by family size based on the finding of the study the researcher has concluded that: by making all other explanatory variable constant family size of the students an important variable affects the student achievement. The researcher also recommended that government also more concerned about education service by method different support like reference book and building of class.
