ABSTRACT 

This study sought to investigate the mathematics achievement of private and public schools in the Chorkor Circuit of Accra Metropolis. The population for the study was 617 J.H.S.3 pupils from private and public basic schools. Four hundred and fifty three (453) pupils were selected for the study, two hundred and eighty four (284) from public schools and one hundred and sixty nine (169) from private schools.
