dc.description This study explains the community participation to student performance in Tanzania. It uses the data generated from Misungwi District. Using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, data were collected through questionnaire, documentary review, and 109 respondents. The qualitative data were analyzed thematically while the quantitative data were analyzed with the help of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and an Excel Spread Sheet (ESS). The findings of the study revealed that the community has an important contribution to the performance of students in secondary schools. The study revealed that the community has been making fundraising, providing manual power, giving advice to parents and hiring science teachers where they missed. However, it was revealed that this contribution is not yet enough when compared to the needs of the schools. It is suggested that the Government should provide immediate solutions to address the challenges facing the schools in their efforts to contribute to students’ performance. The study recommends the government to allocate sufficient funds for community schools to construct hostels to keep girls safe from sexual harassment and pregnancies and help those who come from remote areas. The community and local government should also plan to provide lunch to students to reduce hunger and attain good health.
