To analyze the data, the researcher used Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (r) and to test the hypothesis, the researcher used r-test formula and consult the result into r-table with α = 0.05. The finding of the research showed that the coefficient of correlation (r) was 0.423. It means that there was moderate correlation between students’ self-esteem and their academic achievement. The correlation direction also showed that there is positive correlation between both variables. In the other words, based on hypothesis testing, the r-score was 0.423 whereas the r-table on α = 0.05 was 0.243. It means the r-score was bigger than r-table.
