      abstract = {This study investigated principals? leadership styles, and student's academic achievement in secondary schools in South-east States, Nigeria. two research questions guided the study and two corresponding hypotheses was formulated and tested at 0.05 significance level. The study employed a correlational research design because the study sought to investigate the relationship between the variables of the study. The population was 12,444 in public secondary schools in South-east, while the sample comprised 1,244 teachers in the 61 public secondary schools in the south-east states of Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed, while simple random sampling was used in the selection of the sample size. The instrument for data collection was a researcher-constructed questionnaire titled ?Leadership Style and School Climate Questionnaire (LSSCQ)?. Students? academic schedule was used in place of questionnaire items for academic achievement. The instrument was validated by three experts, one from the Department of Educational Administration and Planning, one from the Department of Curriculum and Teacher Education and one from Measurement and Evaluation, and subjected to reliability using a one short test reliability technique and the coefficient of 0.80 and 0.87 were realized, which implied that the instruments were considered adequate for the study. The instrument was administered with the help of research assistants who were briefed. Simple linear regression was used to answer research questions while t-test statistic associated with regression were used to test hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The finding revealed that Servant-leadership style significantly relates to students? academic achievement, engagement/collaboration does not significantly relate to students? academic achievement, in South-East States, Nigeria. },
