The study employed a correlation research design and quantitative approach. A total of 4 secondary schools were selected by simple random sampling technique. Regarding the respondents of the study, 108 teachers, 4 Principals, 4supervisors, 4 vice-principals and 60 Students were selected using simple random sampling technique. Data for the study were collected through questionnaires, interview and document analysis. Data obtained through questionnaire were analyzed using statistical tools like percentages, mean, weighed mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient, independent sample t-test, one way anova and leaner regression analysis used by computing the data on SPSS version 26. However, less focus is given on evaluating the instructional methods regularly and making impartial contributions and sharing information about classroom activities with teachers for the improvement of students’ achievement in their school. Increasing the extent of involvement of parents and other stakeholders in supporting the school by finance and other issues and redesigning the evaluation format is recommended for principals and make regular discussion meeting with students on how the teaching –learning is going on and what students’ need to support their learning and the employment of punishment hinders the practice of principals on their daily activities in their school
