Data derived from the field were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0 and statistical tools such as simple percentage and mean scores were used to answer the research questions and Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient to test the relationship between the educational facilities and students’ academic achievement. Findings from the study showed that that there is a significant difference between student taught with computers and those that do not learn with computers (t-cal = 4.84, df = 288, P = 0.05); further findings showed that there is a significant difference between schools with the aforementioned facilities and those without them in their schools (t-cal = 0.23, df = 288, P = 0.05). Based on results and findings of the research work, the study concluded that the use of educational amenities is good and relevant only when they are judiciously applied and what makes a lesson easy to understand and a teacher resourceful are the types of educational amenities used during a lesson and how well they are used. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that more fund should be made available for the heads of school for proper running of the school while the government would have a monitoring body to oversee what they have issued the money. Again, money should be directed to the problem areas in education, amongst others.
