Abstract

This work intends to investigate and propose a model that can be used by students, parents, teachers and education policy makers to understand and predict high school student academic performance based on pre-defined factors identified as capable of impacting students’ academic performance. This study uses ex post facto research design. An instrument measuring students’ academic performance has been used to collect data from the management students and R-Code programming language was used to analyse the data collected and there was a positive and statistically significant impact of learning facilities, age, romance and proper guidance from parent on student performance.
