ABSTRACT
This study comprehensively evaluates the Senior High School (SHS) program by incorporating perspectives from teachers, strand coordinators, and students. The findings consistently highlight positive perceptions in crucial areas, emphasizing the program’s effectiveness in delivering educational content, employing innovative assessment strategies, and implementing impactful instructional methods within Curriculum, Assessment, and
Instruction. The high rating in Instructional Leadership signifies successful practices that foster a positive school culture and support effective teaching, contributing to a cohesive and proficient teaching staff, ultimately establishing a supportive learning environment. Students’ positive assessments indicate satisfaction with Academic Support and Development Services, suggesting effective support for academic growth. The positive rating of the Registrar’s Office reflects streamlined administrative processes, and the well-equipped resource hub indicated by the positive ranking of the Library-Instructional Media Center caters to diverse academic pursuits. However, the study identifies a significant difference in the assessment of core and support
areas among teachers, students, and strand coordinators, emphasizing the need for targeted strategies to address specific areas of misalignment and enhance overall program effectiveness. Based on these findings, a recommended Standard-based School Improvement Plan (SSIP) is proposed.
