dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the influence of school location and school type on senior school achievement in physics in Ilorin, Kwara State. The study specifically examined the influence of school location and school type on students’ academic achievement in WASSCE physics examinations from 2010- 2014. SSCE results of 1124 senior school students that sat for WASSCE examinations from 2010- 2014 were collected from eight schools in both rural and urban areas of Ilorin East, Kwara State. Two hypotheses were formulated. The t-test statistical tool was used to test both hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. This study reveals statistical significant difference in the achievement of senior school students in WASSCE physics examinations based on school location from 2010-2014 in favour of rural schools, t(1122)=3.404, p<0.05; there was also a significant difference in the achievement of senior school students in WASSCE examinations based on school type from 2010-2014 in favour of private schools, t(1122)=12.12, p<0.05. Recommendations and conclusions were made in line with the findings of this study.en_US
