Specifically the study intended to determine home and school based factors resulting to girls‟ poor academic performance in community secondary schools, to examine reasons for factors influencing girls‟ poor academic performance in community secondary schools as well as soliciting ways to improve girls‟ academic performance in community secondary schools in Kishapu district. The study sampled three community mixed Secondary Schools from Kishapu district. From the selected schools, girl students were selected from all classes in each school totaling 66 respondents. Five (5) teachers, three (3) heads of schools, one (1) DEO and three (3) parents were also included in the study. Data was collected using questionnaires for students and teachers. Interviews were for head of schools, DEO and parents. The research employed a mixed method design technique in which both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics like frequencies and percentages. Scientific Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was also used. Findings of this study reveals that, poor academic performance among girl students in community secondary schools in Kishapu district is attributed to factors like poor girls participation in classroom activities, excessive domestic activities involved by girl students at home, lack of effective assistance from parents relating to their schooling, lack of food supply at school, lack of stationary services in schools, sexual harassments on girl students, long traveling distance from home to school, lack of sanitary services as well as lack of library services. In order to improve girls‟ academic performance, the study suggests different measures as obtained from respondents during data collection. Themes like provision of regular seminars to girl students regarding their reproductive health, increasing government support to community secondary schools and elimination of gender inequalities from family level through mass education were raised by respondents and discussed in details in this report.
