A Single and his social environment are equally reliant on social and cultural differences impact the intellectual and affective domain of every individual. The difference may be due to variance between their schools, family, communities etc. So socio-cultural pressure on the educational system has been a matter of deep exploration in many countries.

The main motive of the study is to study of socio-cultural factors as a correlation on achievement of basic mathematical skills among high school students. This research is undertaken with a view to examining the relationship with socio-cultural factors and achievement of basic mathematical skills of different high school students with a sample size 300. The result concluded that there doesn’t exist any relationship between socio-cultural factors and achievement in basic mathematical skills among high school students.
