This research article delves into the critical subject of resource disparities and their impact on students' academic success in Biology with particular reference to the day secondary schools in Kuresoi South Sub County, Nakuru County, Kenya. Against the backdrop of persistent challenges in Mathematics and the sciences, notably Biology, in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations, this research thus seeks to scrutinize the multifaceted dimensions of resource availability. Employing the General System Theory (GST) as the theoretical framework that informs it, it embraces quantitative and qualitative methods to explore the influences of human resources, teaching and learning resources, library facilities, and biology laboratories on students' Biology performance. The findings underscore the global issue of uneven access to quality educational resources, emphasizing a stark contrast between well- equipped institutions and those grappling with resource limitations. Teachers highlighted the pivotal role of qualified Biology educators in shaping student outcomes, though concerns surfaced regarding resource allocation and administrative support. While professional development opportunities were acknowledged as beneficial, it vouches for targeted improvements. The significance of multimedia resources and technology in enhancing engagement signifies the evolving role of technology in the educational landscape. Despite resource challenges, a consensus emerged among teachers on the importance of conducive classrooms and supplementary teaching aids for effective Biology studies and instruction
