The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design involving both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The findings on the effect of learner’s attitude on performance of learners in science subjects at ordinary level, it was established that learner’s attitude have a significant positive influence (r=.397**, p<0.05, .000) on the performance of learners in science subjects at Ordinary level. Concerning the effect of teacher factors on performance of learners in science subjects at ordinary level, it was found out that teacher factors significantly and positively influenced (r=.305**, p<0.05, .000) the performance of learners in science subjects. The effect of school-based environment on performance of learners in science subjects at ordinary level, School based factors were found to significantly and positively influence the performance of learners in science subject at Ordinary level at r= .537**, p<0.005, .000. The study recommends that school administrators go an extra mile to lobby for external sponsorship and also form partnership.
