Among, science and non-science students, researchers have established different positions in this regard. Report of no significance and significance in favour of both male and female have all been established in the context of literature. For this study, two research questions were raised and answered while this study sampled one thousand one hundred and twenty-four (1124) students from eight purposively selected Senior Secondary School from Ilorin East LGA of Kwara State, Nigeria. A pro forma of students WASSCE physics results was analyzed using mean, standard deviation and t-test. The study recorded no significant difference between male and female students’ performance over this period (2015-2019), although, each year recorded variations for both male and female students but inconclusive in a particular direction. The study recommended that students of all gender should be given equal opportunity to excess in their academic careers.
