Education competence in the present world is interwoven with the progress of every society. The most significant agency of education is school, where an individual should learn not only academics but to adjust with the surrounding in specific and society at large. The social standing of an individual is strongly characterized by the predominant features of his or her family background. School achievements are considered to be the most important in determining the career of a student. Analysis of data collected shows that the adjustment pattern is similar among students in boys, girls and co-education state board schools at the secondary level. It is also further seen that the co-education students are better than the boys in the socio-economic status of state board schools. It is also concluded from the study that co-education students are better than boys and girls in their academic achievement of state board schools. This can be due to the competitive spirit between the opposite genders with each of them trying to perform better than the other.
