The research is one (1) out of eleven (11) with similar purpose, across the eleven (11) Federal Constituencies in Jigawa State. This mixed-methods study explores the impact of the facilities-to-students ratio (FSR) on academic achievement in 22 schools across the Kaugama/Malam-Madori Federal Constituency in Jigawa State of Nigeria. Employing stratified random sampling, the research encompasses 132 teachers and 220 students, revealing a mean facility count of 10 and a median student number of 150. A significant chi-square value (5.89) with a p-value of 0.015 indicates gender disparities in facility access. T-tests show girls outperforming boys in Math (82% vs. 78%, p=0.044), while ANOVA results suggest variations in Basic Science scores by facility type (F=3.16, p=0.045). Correlation analysis yields a positive relationship between FSR and academic success (r=0.62, p=0.003), supported by regression analysis where FSR predicts academic scores (R²=0.49, p<0.001). Factor analysis identifies three key elements—Infrastructure, Academic Resources, and Extracurricular Activities—accounting for 68% variance in facility availability. Content analysis highlights Student Engagement as the predominant theme (45%). The study concludes that a balanced FSR, particularly with sports facilities, is crucial for enhanced academic performance, integrating both quantitative and qualitative insights for a holistic understanding
