Abstract
The study was designed to assess the influence of some selected school variables on students’ mathematics performance among Junior Secondary School three (JSS3) students in Cross River State, Nigeria. The school variables considered were school proprietorship, school model (boarding/day), and school sex-type. Students’ performance in mathematics was measured using the outcomes of a state-wide final examination in mathematics for junior secondary schools conducted by the State Ministry of Education in 2009/10 session. A total of 1600 students from 81 public, private and mission schools were used for the study. Data collected were subjected to t-test and ANOVA at .05 level. The results showed that school proprietorship (F=26.13, p <.05), school model (t=4.15, p<.05) and school sex-type (F=3.822, p<.05) significantly influenced Junior Secondary School students’ performance in mathematics in Cross River State, Nigeria.
