Abstract

Academic performance was found to be influenced to a high extent by various factors, with teacher-related factors having the strongest influence and home-related factors the weakest. In terms of performance, students reported high levels of achievement subjectively, with engaging teaching styles motivating them, though comprehension without prior preparation remained a challenge. Objectively, most students achieved grades in the 1.51–2.00 range, with no failing marks, reflecting strong academic standing overall. Demographic variables such as age, course, and year level showed no significant relationship with performance, though sex was found to have a modest positive correlation with actual grades.Also, the analysis confirmed that student-related, home-related, school-related, and teacher-related factors all significantly influenced both subjective and objective performance. The findings concluded that academic achievement is best understood as the product of personal drive reinforced by supportive environments and effective teaching practices.Strengthening motivation, improving learning facilities, and enhancing teaching practices are recommended to sustain and improve student achievement.
