    The viability of the schools and the students’ achievement called for a special attention of the Education stakeholders nowadays, though several factors have been attributed to the school effectiveness and their contributions to students achievement have been investigated, but it seems there are dearth of literatures on the school effectiveness in the area of school administrations that include student welfare and school safety as well as school learning culture that used Active learning and Collaborative learning practices. Therefore, this study examines the extent to which these School Effectiveness variables predict secondary school student’s academic achievements in quantitative Economics in Osun State. The study adopted correlation research design. The population of the study consists 14,346 Economics students for the 2023/2024 academic session in 364Government Senior Secondary Schools Students, in Osun State. Multistage sampling technique was used. the state was stratified into three senatorial districts. Four Local Governments were purposively selected from each district, three schools were purposively sampled each Local Government Area, and thirty S.S.S.II Economics students were randomly selected from each of the sampled schools. A total of 1080 students were randomly sampled for the study Three instruments were used for the data collection, two of them were validated using Cronbach Alpha; School Administration Practices Scale (SAPS) with reliability coefficient of 0.91, School Learning Cultures Scale (SLCS)with reliability coefficient of 0.90 while Quantitative Economics Achievement Test was validated using KR20 and the reliability coefficient was 0.88. Findings revealed that School administrative practices and school learning culture as the variables of school effectiveness significantly predict Academic Achievement in Quantitative Economics (R =0.409, P<0.05). It was concluded that School safety, student welfare, Active learning and collaborative learning practices significantly contributed to prediction of Academic Achievement in Quantitative Economics. The study recommended that school administrator should always prioritized students’ welfare, and schools should spell out various welfare measures to improve students’ academic achievement, School safety should be considered as an important aspect of school effectiveness and learning cultures should include active and collaborative learning approaches to aid students’ academic achievement, and school learning culture should be officially guided by a written template to improve students’ academic achievement.
