Student Domestic Violence Academic Performance Questionnaire The instrument has the reliability coefficient of Cronbach’s Alpha 0.77. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) while the hypotheses were tested using linear regression Findings from the study revealed that physical violence has no significant influence in predicting academic performance (t=1.626,p>0.05) Emotional violence here Significant (t=2.922, p<0.05) contribution in predicting Academic Performance. Financial Violence here has no Significant (t=.554, p>0.05) Influence on Academic Performance. The government should decisively show interest in the effect of domestic violence by passing in too low, a bill that will effectively address the issue of Domestic Violence as a social ill and crime, to reduce its proliferation. The parents and teachers association of the school should support workshops, seminars and symposiums organised by professional counsellors that will seek to enlighten parents and caregivers on the need for them to be good models to their children.
