This study examined the influence of school facilities and types on Senior Secondary School Science Students’ academic performance in Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Two research hypothesis were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The population of the study comprised all public senior secondary schools in urban and rural areas of Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Stratified and simple random sampling techniques were used to select the sample. Thirty schools were randomly selected (ten from each of the 3 Senatorial Zones in the State). A total of 300 students formed the sample of the study. A researcher-designed questionnaire titled, “School Facilities and Types Questionnaire (SFTQ)” was used as an instrument for the study. The reliability of the instrument was determined using Cronbach’s Coefficient Alpha. The alpha coefficient of internal consistency for the instrument was 0.84, suggesting that the items had relatively high internal consistency levels and considered acceptable. The data were analysed using t-test statistics to test the two hypotheses at alpha=0.05. The findings of this study revealed that there was a significant influence of school facilities on science students’ academic performance in urban and rural schools and also, there was a significant influence of school facilities on science students’ academic performance in private and public schools. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended among others that; Government should not relent in its effort of proving succor urban and rural schools. It should also encourage Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), philanthropists, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and the society at large to join its efforts in the form of Private-Public Partnership (PPP) for salvaging the schools from total collapse.
