Most studies for instances have related poor academic performance with problems that refugee pupils undergo. This paper however, sought to explain how demographic characteristics of refugee pupils influence academic performance in Eldoret Municipality in Uasin-Gishu County. The paper found a relationship between gender, class of study and orphan-hood statuses of refugee and their academic performance.
