ABSTRACT The study investigated the school environment and pupils' academic performance in primary schools in Agago district: A case study in Adilang sub-county. With focus on the environmental factors that affect the academic performance of pupils, how the environmental factors affect the academic performance and the strategies that can be used to improve on academic performance. It adopted descriptive research design. Qualitative and quantitative research methods were applied to analyze the findings. 60 respondents took part in the study out of whom 32 were male and 28 female. The number male was seen to be more than female because all head teachers who took part in the study were male. Questionnaires with open ended statements were administered to collect data which was analyzed using frequency tables and percentages. The findings revealed that the following factors were responsible for poor academic performance:- Lack of mid-day meals, lack of instructional materials, inadequate classrooms, poor teacherpupil relationship, the study also put it clear that failure of teachers to display instructional materials in classrooms, poor syllabus interpretation by some teachers, under staffing, poor administration by some head teachers and mismanagement funds.
