In this paper, we analyze the determinants of the academic performance of secondary education, by comparing the results in the area of mathematics from the Saber 11 test of eleventh grade students in the regions with higher and lower levels of socioeconomic development in Colombia. The methodology used was developed through the application of a Cross-Section Combination Model for the study period from 2008 to 2013. The results show that there are important differences between the determinants of academic performance in regions with higher and lower levels of socioeconomic development, the personal characteristics of students, such as age and ethnicity, as well as the characteristics of schools which have a greater impact on students in regions with lower levels of development, whereas family and home characteristics such as parental education, the use of a home computer and family income, have a greater impact on the academic performance of students from regions with higher levels of socioeconomic development.
