Abstract
This research study focused on the relationship between school academic climate and students’ achievement in mathematics at the senior secondary school level in Rivers State, Nigeria. The ex-post facto research design was adopted for this study, since already conducted mathematics test scores of students were retrieved and used for the analysis. Furthermore, data were elicited through the school academic climate and students’ achievement in mathematics questionnaire (SACASAMQ). This questionnaire has twelve (12) question items related to school academic climate and students’ achievement in mathematics. A population of 10,120 students was involved in the study out of which 4,510 were chosen for thesample using the Yarrow Yamen’s formula. The data were analysed using the Z-test statistic, means and simple percentage. The findings were that to “a high extent”, school academic climate related to students achievement in mathematics. Furthermore, the hypothesis testing showed that there is a significant relationship between school academic climate and students’ achievement in mathematics. Based on these findings, recommendations were made.
