Abstract

Academic performance plays a crucial role in the students’ overall development and success in their educational journey. However, there are many factors, such as learning environment, learning resources, family support, delivery of instructions, and study habits, that have influenced students’ academic performance. The key purpose of this study is to find out the factors affecting learners’ academic performance in one of the public elementary schools in a large-sized division in central Philippines for the school year 2025-2026 as the basis for an intervention plan. Descriptive research was conducted, and a 35-item survey questionnaire was used as a tool to gather data from seventy (70) learners. The results revealed that most of the respondents were 11-year-old grade 4 female learners with parents with lower educational backgrounds and belonged to higher-income families. Overall, the level of factors affecting learners’ academic performance across areas was high. When grouped according to five profile variables, the level of factors affecting learners’ academic performance was also high. Additionally, a significant difference was found in the level of factors affecting learners’ academic performance related to learning resources when comparing different grade levels. This calls for school heads, teachers, and parents to work together to provide the learners the materials and support they need for their successful educational journey.
