The questionnaire was self designed and it was based on closed- ended items with options of A,B,C,D,E and F. The population was all the public senior secondary school students in Sokoto state. A total number of twelve public senior secondary schools, with three thousand four hundred and twenty eight (3,428) as the population of SS II students, were purposively selected within the six educational zones to represent the total population. The judgmental sampling technique was used to select the schools. The qualitative data collected were analyzed through thematic analysis by coding and transcription, while the quantitative data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient. The major findings of the study were: Teacher competence has relationship with student’s academic performance. School climate has relationship with students’ academic performance.
