Abstract: The descriptive survey methodology was used to test the effectiveness of the school-community relationships in the post-primary education system in Delta state. The respondents were all principals and teachers of the public post-primary schools in Delta State. A sample of 100 male principals, 120 female principals and 260 teachers was chosen. The study was informed by the three hypotheses and three research enquiries. Administration of Secondary Education was used to gather the information by the use of School-Community Relations Questionnaire (ASECR) which had reliability index of 0.84 following its testing by the experts. Data were analysed by the One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to test the hypotheses at the alpha level of 0.05 and means and standard deviations were used to solve the problems of the study. The results revealed that healthy school-community relations are basic in the running of post-primary education. Based on these findings, the researchers suggested school administrators to establish robust positive relationships with their communities and maintain open and continuous communication.
