Abstract	There has been continuous outcry from stakeholders against poor performances of students in Senior Secondary School Examinations in Nigeria. The study investigated the influence of family size and family type on students’ academic performance in Government, in Calabar Municipality of Cross River State. To achieve the purpose of this study, two null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The simple random sampling technique was adopted in selecting the six (6) public secondary schools and two hundred (200) SS2 students used for the study. The survey research design was adopted for the study. A selfconstructed questionnaire and a students’ achievement test in Government were the instruments used for data collection. The instruments were face-validated by three experts in Test and measurement before they were administered. The test re-retest method was adopted in testing the reliability of the students’ achievement test items. The reliability co-efficient was 0.728 and this was considered high enough for use in the study. Data collected was analysed using One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The result revealed a significant influence of family size and family type on academic performance of secondary school students in Government in Calabar Municipality, Cross River State, Nigeria. Based on these findings, it was recommended that: parents should be adequately sensitized on how best they can assist their children irrespective of the size and type of family among others.
