Results show that the administrators were performing well. Female administrators tend to believe that they performed better. Moreover, the study revealed that age, years of experience as an administrator and educational attainment are not factors in the assessment of their performance. The study recommends an enhancement program to enhance performance and improve school monitoring and evaluation practices in all the areas of school monitoring and evaluation.
