ABSTRACT The study was about Head teachers’ leadership styles and students’ academic performance in Keumbu division secondary schools, Kisii county. It was guided by four objectives; establishing the profile of the respondents, type of head teachers’ leadership styles, level of students’ academic performance, and finding the relationship between leadership style an level of students’ academic performance. Using descriptive correlational survey research design and expost factor design, the study employed a sample of 210 secondary school teachers in all public secondary schools in the division. The study found out that male teachers are more than female ones, the leading leadership style was discovered to be the directing style, level of students academic performance was found to be low and there is a significant positive relationship between the head teachers’ leadership styles and level of students’ academic performance. Based on the findings of the study, the following are recommended; that Head teachers should be taken for refresher courses in leadership courses frequently as possible. This will help them conform to acceptable management styles. Finally the researcher recommends that the schools should provide forums in which teachers can freely interact with their heads and share their opinions about their leadership styles. All in all the schools should establish good working conditions helping the teachers do their jobs effectively and efficiently.
