The mean score is used to find out the level of parents' economic status and the level of students' learning motivation and to describe the relationship between parents' economic status and students' learning motivation, the Pearson product moment correlation is used. The results of this study are the level of parents' economic status is at a low level (mean = 2.38), for the level of student learning motivation is at a high level (mean = 3.12) and there is no significant relationship between parents' economic status and students' learning motivation (p value =.258 = .005).
