Abstract:  In recent times, the provision of laboratory facilities in secondary schools in Calabar have yielded little or no result in terms of students’ academic performance.  This paper seek to evaluate the extent of adequacy of laboratory facilities on students’ academic performance in Calabar. However, a total of three hundred and fifty copies of questionnaire were administered to Chemistry students in order to assess the facilities impact on the students’ academic performance.  The results obtained from the data collected and analyzed show that laboratory facilities in secondary schools are not adequately enough for teaching chemistry.  This result was also affirmed in the tested hypothesis which show that adequacy of facilities does not significantly contribute to the variance in students’ academic performances in chemistry. Key words: Adequacy, academic, chemistry, performance, students.
