Abstract: Socio-economic status of the parents might affect the academic performance of the students in some ways. As such, this study was conducted using interviews through survey questionnaires employed to selected schools in Iligan City. Findings of this study showed that multiple intelligence were determinant to academic performance of the students. Multiple intelligences and academic performance had strong significant relationship. However, socio-economic status alone did not have a significant relationship with academic performance.Hence, the stronger the intelligence was, the bigger the academic performance, in the same way that the weaker the multiple intelligence value, the academic performance was smaller. Therefore, the extent of multiple intelligence was directly related to academic performance or grades. A strong significant relationship was observed between socio-economic status and multiple intelligences. Hence, the higher the socioeconomic status that involved higher income and higher educational background of the parents, the higher the multiple intelligences scores. Therefore, multiple intelligences led to good academic performance, which must be duly instituted by the school constituents.
