In this study, the Facility Student Ratio (FSR) and its impact on academic performance were assessed in primary and secondary schools across the Gagarawa/Gumel/Maigatari/Sule Tan-Kar-Kar Federal Constituency of Nigeria. A stratified random sample of 43 schools was analyzed, involving 172 teachers and 430 students. The ANOVA test results showed a significant F-value of 5.67 and a p-value of 0.003, indicating a substantial difference in academic achievement between schools with varying FSR levels. The mean scores in Mathematics, English, and Science were used as indicators of academic performance. The study further classified schools into low, medium, and high FSR categories, revealing that schools with a high FSR had mean scores of 76.5, 74.3, and 75.2 in Mathematics, English, and Science, respectively, compared to schools with a low FSR, which had mean scores of 65.4, 63.7, and 64.8 in the same subjects. The research highlights the importance of adequate facilities in enhancing educational outcomes and suggests that improving infrastructure could lead to better academic performance. The findings advocate for policy interventions aimed at equitable distribution of educational resources to foster consistent quality across different school environments.
