The present study examined the relationship between home chaos, maternal education, family system, and children's academic achievement. The study was based on purposive sample of 203 children and their mothers. Primary school children (Boys = 91 , Girls = 112) with an age range of 8-11 years were recruited from Federal Government schools of Rawalpindi (n = 101), Karachi (n = 53), and Lahore (n = 49). Confusion, Hubbub, and Order Scale (Matheny, Wachs, Ludwig, & Phillips, 1995) was used to measure home chaos. Maternal education ranged from Intermediate to Masters and equivalent. Nuclear and extended family systems were studied. Children's academic achievement was measured by taking the average of their last consecutive examinations. Results indicated nonsignificant association between home chaos and maternal education. Results also revealed that extended families experience higher home chaos as compared to nuclear families.
