Abstract
Academic achievement is a prominent indicator of student’s learning success. However, not all students can meet this goal. Therefore, this study analyzed the influence of social support, self-esteem, and self-efficacy on the academic achievement of MAN 5 Cirebon students. As many as 70 students from grades X and XI were selected using purposive sampling technique. Their data were collected using instruments such as the scales of social support, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. It was revealed that social support, self-esteem, and self-efficacy had a positive influence on academic achievement. These findings emphasize the importance of the development of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and the reinforcement of social support to help students improve their achievement

Summary
Academic achievement is student’s ability to learn, covering remembering facts, and communicating knowledge both spoken and written (Kpolovie, Joe, and Okoto, 2014). In formal educational setting, academic achievement is significant for students because it influences the rate of chance to be accepted by school or college in the level of education (favorite school). This achievement is defined as the level of knowledge attained from education either insight or skills developed in various school subjects that are determined by a test or score given by teacher, or both (Izzaty, et al, 2017:154). Based on the preliminary interview with the students of MAN 5 Cirebon, it was known that most of them had low opinion on themselves Due to this fact, the researchers assumed that there is something wrong with students’ self-esteem and self-efficacy which can influence academic achievement. From the previous studies and the results of this interview, the researchers believe that there is an influence of social support, self-esteem, and self-efficacy on students’ academic achievement
