The target population was one thousand, two hundred and thirty six (1236) JSS 3 students spread across 26 public Junior Secondary Schools in the Local Government Area. The sample size was three hundred and two (302) students. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select schools from both urban and rural areas while simple random sampling technique was used to select respondents from each stratum. The instruments for data collection were Students Academic Achievement Data Proforma (SAADP), and a questionnaire titled Students Demographic Data Questionnaire (SDDQ). One research question and one formulated hypothesis guided the study. Simple mean was used to answer research questions as t-test statistic was used to analyse the research hypothesis. The findings revealed that students from monogamous families achieved higher than those from polygamous families. The hypothesis revealed that there is a significant difference between the mean academic achievement scores of public Junior Secondary School students from monogamous families and polygamous families. Based on the findings, recommendation is that men in the study area should disdain polygamy as much as possible because of its precarious implications on children.
