- <p>Abstract <br>This study investigated principals’adminis -trative effectiveness and students’ academic <br>performance in public senior secondary <br>schools in South West, Nigeria. Four <br>research questions and four null hypotheses <br>guided the study. The study adopted <br>correlational survey and ex-post facto <br>research designs. From a target population <br>of 134 public senior secondary schools and <br>7,412 teachers, a sample size of 67 public <br>senior secondary schools and 364 teachers <br>was drawn from Ondo, Osun, and Ogun <br>States using a multistage sampling <br>procedure.Aresearcher-developed <br>instrument titled Principals’ Administrative <br>Effectiveness Questionnaire (PAEQ) and a <br>Students’ Academic Performance Proforma <br>(SAPP) were used for data collection. The <br>reliability coefficient of 0.83 was obtained <br>for the PAEQ using the split-half method, <br>Pearson Product Moment Correlation, and <br>Spearman Brown Prophecy Formula. Mean <br>scores and standard deviations were used to <br>answer research questions, while linear and <br>multiple regression analyses were employed <br>to test the null hypotheses at a 0.05 alpha <br>level. The findings revealed that principals <br>were effective in the administration of <br>curriculum and instruction, school plant and <br>facilities, and student personnel; and that <br>students’ academic performance showed a <br>good trend in SSCE results from 2013 to </p> <p>2022. The study concluded that principals’ <br>administrative effectiveness significantly <br>influences students’ academic performance <br>in public senior secondary schools in South <br>West,Nigeria. It was therefore recommended <br>that school principals should intensify <br>administrative efforts towards structuring <br>students’ learning activities to align with <br>academic goals and expected outcomes in <br>external examinations. Furthermore, <br>principals should collaborate with State Post <br>Primary Education Boards in Ondo, Osun, <br>and Ogun States to ensure the adequate <br>provision and maintenance of school plants <br>and facilities to enhance the teaching<br>learning process and improve overall <br>academic performance in public senior <br>secondary schools. </p>
