Four hypotheses were postulated to guide the study; the study made use of the descriptive survey research design method. The sample comprised 125 participants and a self-designed questionnaire titled “School Facilities and Performance Test in Economics Inventory (SFPTEI)” was used to obtain the data that was used for the study. The data obtained was analysed to test the hypotheses using the inferential analysis of correlation, tested at 0.05 level of significance.
