School performance is explained in the literature by a trilogy of factors coming from the school, the family and the student himself. This study focuses on the family and examines whether there is a relationship between family characteristics and the performance of lower secondary school students in Togo. To achieve this objective, a sample of 944 students was mobilized using the convenience sampling technique. Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and a parenting style scale. Inferential analyses of the collected data found that not only were parenting style and performance related to family structure, but also that the two variables were positively correlated. On the other hand, the results do not show a relationship between parenting style on the one hand, academic performance on the other hand and family size.
Author Keywords: Educational style, family size, family structure, school performance, students.

Abstract
School performance is explained in the literature by a trilogy of factors coming from the school, the family and the student himself. This study focuses on the family and examines whether there is a relationship between family characteristics and the performance of lower secondary school students in Togo. To achieve this objective, a sample of 944 students was mobilized using the convenience sampling technique. Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and a parenting style scale. Inferential analyses of the collected data found that not only were parenting style and performance related to family structure, but also that the two variables were positively correlated. On the other hand, the results do not show a relationship between parenting style on the one hand, academic performance on the other hand and family size.

Abstract: (french)
Les performances scolaires sont expliquées à travers la littérature par une trilogie de facteurs venant de l’école, de la famille et de l’élève lui-même. Il est question dans cette étude de s’appesantir sur la famille et vérifiant s’il existe une relation entre les caractéristiques familiales et les performances des élèves du premier cycle du secondaire au Togo. Pour atteindre cet objectif, il a fallu mobiliser un échantillon de 944 élèves à l’aide de la technique d’échantillonnage de convenance. Les participants ont répondu à un questionnaire sociodémographique et à une échelle relative au style d’éducation parentale. Les analyses inférentielles des données recueillies ont permis de constater que non seulement le style d’éducation et les performances sont liés à la structure familiale mais aussi que les deux variables sont positivement corrélées. En revanche, les résultats ne montrent pas de relation entre le style d’éducation d’une part, les performances scolaires d’autre part et la taille de la famille.
Author Keywords: Style d’éducation, taille de la famille, structure familiale, performances scolaires, élèves.
