Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the administrative performance of school heads and school achievement in the Division of Bacolod City during the School Year 2016-2017.

Descriptive design was employed utilizing a modified questionnaire on the school heads’ demographic profile, the profile and achievement of the school and, the level of administrative performance of the school heads. Likewise, an instrument called Interactive Open Four Temperament Scales by Eric Jorgenson was used to determine the temperament type of the school heads as well as Key Informant Interview to triangulate the results of the survey. Results showed that the majority of the school heads have ages between 41 years and above, female with master’s degree units, who have been in the teaching profession between 11-20 years, having sanguine personality and middle born children, married, and with an annual income between 250,000 and above.

The level of administrative performance of school heads in the area of Delegation of Authority got the highest mean score of 3.66, followed by the area on Interaction-Facilitation with a mean score of 3.65. Decision-making is third with a mean score of 3.58 and the last is on Planning with a mean score of 3.41. Nevertheless, all mean scores are interpreted as very high level of administrative performance. The overall mean of 3.58 shows that the level of administrative performance of school heads is very high. As to the level of achievement of the schools, only 5 schools got a rating of “Outstanding”, 13 schools obtained a rating of “Very Satisfactory”, another 13 schools yielded a rating of “Satisfactory”, 21 schools obtained a rating of “Unsatisfactory” and the remaining 5 schools got a rating of “Poor.” The average rating of the 68 schools is 56.87 interpreted as “Satisfactory” performance or achievement of schools in the Division of Bacolod City.

Moreover, there are significant differences in the level of administrative performance of school heads when they are grouped according to variables age, gender length of service, civil status, educational attainment and annual family income. In contrast, no significant differences were observed when they are grouped according to ordinal position and temperament type.

Lastly, there is no significant relationship between the level of administrative performance of the school heads and the school achievement. Based on the findings of the study, an enhancement program was designed to improve the level of administrative performance of the school heads and the school achievement.
