The students' academic achievement is the globally general criteria to evaluate effectiveness of the education, while in addition to the students' own talents, efforts and educational resources, the family's Socioeconomic Status (SES) plays a crucial role. The previous studies target the indicators of SES scale, while this thesis initially breaks the drawbacks and limitations of the conventional scale methodology in the research of household wealth survey, utilizing the Big Data Theory to carry out a household wealth survey from 27k students' families of 56 primary schools in a district of Shanghai. Eventually, the thesis implements the analysis of the household wealth's effect on the academic achievement.
