Abstract: This study aimed to compare senior secondary school student’s academic performance in Physics in external examinations from 2014-2018 using specific objectives and research questions for all the secondary schools selected from Makurdi local governments. ANOVA, which is the analysis of variance, was used in analyzing the scores of the students’ tests. Similarly, three other hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of significance using the Chi-square. The first hypothesis analysis shows no significant difference in male students’ academic performance in their Physics subject. The result also showed no significant differences in the male students’ academic performance in Physics after they were separated from the female students. The third hypothesis also indicated no significant difference in the male students’ performance in Physics in private and public secondary schools. However, there were fluctuations in students’ academic performance in Physics in Makurdi over the years of study. As a result, it is recommended that the government empower the ministry of education’s supervisory unit to provide timely and thorough teaching instruction supervision to ensure that education practice in the state follows authorized regulations.
