Summary

The acquisition of the K to 12 Curriculum is to constantly conquest to the

additional set of challenges that would be encountered by the students.The reality

of graduating high school and moving onto college oftentimes poses some real fear

for students. Adults often said that we do not know what stress is and to just wait

until we grow up. But we as teenage students have our own levels of stress. For

instance, all school activities require you to uphold your grade point average to high

3
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

standards, along with the expectations that you dedicate any extra time to it day

and night. The study aimed to determine the Challenges encountered by the

students of Alangilan Senior High School during their Senior High School level. The

researchers used descriptive – quantitative method of research. The data were

obtained through the researchers-made questionnaire. This research utilized 283

students from Grade 11 and 12 in ABM, STEM and GAS students of Alangilan

Senior High School. The data was analyzed using frequency and percentage,

weighted mean and correlation ratio.

INTRODUCTION

Challenge is something that needs great mental or physical effort in order to

be done successfully and therefore tests a person's ability. (Cambridge Dictonaries)

A call to someone to participate in a competitive situation or fight to decide who is

superior in terms of ability or strength. (Oxford Dictionaries)

Challenge is something that needs a lot of skill, energy, and determination to

deal with or achieve, especially something you have never done before and will

enjoy doing. (Macmillan Dictionary) Challenge is to dispute especially as being

unjust, invalid, or outmoded : impugn new data that challenges old assumptions.

Reports from the University of Cincinnati (2001) state some common

reasons why college students experience academic problems. Some students do

not have a clear vision regarding their reason for being in college. Perhaps, they

are there at their parent's insistence while not feeling that they are doing what they

really want to do with their life. Sometimes courses and majors are chosen to

please others,but have little or no relationship to the student's true interest.

In the words of Horowitz, Rosenberg, & Bartholomew (as cited in Locke,

2005), interpersonal problems are recurring difficulties in relating to others. Locke

(2005) points out that interpersonal problem may be related to expectations for how

others will act. It may be related to how sensitive or insensitive people are to the

reactions of others. Finally, interpersonal problems may be related to expectations

for the self.

Dom beck and Wells-Moran (2006) claim that time management skills boil

down to awareness, organization and commitment. One needs to become aware of

and record everything he is doing so that important things get done on time. One

also needs to commit to keep a schedule, and not wandering off when something

more momentarily interesting occurs. They emphasized that time management and

organization skills are applicable to a wide range of life tasks one might decide to

take on. As it will benefit the person broadly in whatever he/she might do.

Some students work at part-time jobs and/or are engaged in time consuming

extra-curricular activities at the university. The demands of academic assignments

almost require students to have the time management skills of a successful busy

business executive. Unfortunately, not many students know adequate time

management.

The University of Cincinnati (2001) observes that undiagnosed and untreated

major emotional issues such as loss, depression, and anxiety may cause students

to feel inadequate or result in serious academic difficulties and failure.

In this era of globalization and technological revolution, education is

considered as a first step for every human activity. It plays a vital role in the

development of human capital and is linked with an individual’s well-being and

opportunities for better living (Battle & Lewis, 2002). It ensures the acquisition of

knowledge and skills that enable individuals to increase their productivity and

improve their quality of life. This increase in productivity also leads towards new

sources of earning which enhances the economic growth of a country (Saxton,

7
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

2000). The quality of students’ performance remains at top priority for educators. It

is meant for making a difference locally, regionally, nationally and globally.

Educators, trainers, and researchers have long been interested in exploring

variables contributing effectively for quality of performance of learners. These

variables are inside and outside school that affect students’ quality of academic

achievement. These factors may be termed as student factors, family factors,

school factors and peer factors (Crosnoe, Johnson & Elder, 2004).The formal

investigation about the role of these demographic factors rooted back in 17th

century (Mann, 1985). Generally these factors include age, gender, geographical

belongingness, ethnicity, marital status, socioeconomic status (SES), parents’

education level, parental profession, language, income and religious affiliations.

These are usually discussed under the umbrella of demography (Ballatine, 1993).

Besides other factors, socioeconomic status is one of the most researched

and debated factor among educational professionals that contribute towards the

academic performance of students. The most prevalent argument is that the

socioeconomic status of learners affects the quality of their academic performance.

Most of the experts argue that the low socioeconomic status has negative effect on

the academic performance of students because the basic needs of students remain

unfulfilled and hence they do not perform better academically (Adams, 1996). The

low socioeconomic status causes environmental deficiencies which results in low

self-esteem of students (US Department of Education, 2003). More specifically, this

study aims to identify and analyze factors that affect the quality of students’

8
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

academic performance.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

The Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) strand would focus on

the basic concepts of financial management, business management, corporate

operations, and all things that are accounted for. ABM can also lead you to careers

on management and accounting which could be sales manager, human resources,

marketing director, project officer, bookkeeper, accounting clerk, internal auditor,

and a lot more.

The Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics strand is the will to

develop the students’ ability to evaluate simple to complex societal problems and

be responsive and active in the formulation of its solution through the application

and integration of scientific, technological, engineering, and mathematical concepts

as it prepares them to pursue college degrees that focuses on the enigma of the

natural world thereby leading them to become future scientists, technological

analysts and experts, engineers, mathematicians, programmers, and the like.

While the other strands are career-specific, the General Academic Strand is

great for students who are still undecided on which track to take. You can choose

electives from the different academic strands under this track. These subjects

include Humanities, Social Sciences, Applied Economics, Organization and

Management, and Disaster Preparedness.

Transition Issues

There is the stress of making a good adjustment because students believe their

12
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

future depends upon their doing well. Putting choices into a longer-term perspective

is useful. There are many people on campus that can assist them in making

decisions: professors, peers, and College staff.

Some students will be homesick, missing their family, friends, and pets. They

will miss old routines and structures. Students may be ambivalent about

dependence and independence. Some will openly ask for parent support and others

won’t tell parents important details. Parents need to ask their adolescent how they

are doing without prying too much – while also being accessible and open.

The school may not live up to the expectations set by the brochures and

admissions counselors. Rarely does an admissions pamphlet tell all about the ins

and outs, and the limits and shortcomings of a place.

Academics

The work is hard and some students may experience their first low grades. Most

students have done well in high school. Some high school courses are not as

demanding as college. A student has to learn a particular professor’s expectations

and style of grading.

Students will be expected to maintain their own schedules and develop good

study habits. There is no one around to force the student to study, to go to class, or

to get a good night’s sleep. Students have to create a structure that works for them.

Time management is a skill that can be learned or improved through work with the

Macalester Academic Excellence (MAX) Center (phone number is 696-6121).

13
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

Students may become excited about whole new areas of study and may change

their career goals and major plans. Parents who believe their student’s goals and

dreams are set in stone may be surprised.

While many classes are small, some students may feel overwhelmed by large

classes. They may be the youngest in the class or the least experienced in the

subject matter. Many students are used to being the oldest and the brightest, and

this is a big shift for them.

Some professors may not be as exciting and challenging as students thought

they would be. While some professors are interesting lecturers, some are not.

Some lead discussion classes and expect students to do a good deal of the talking.

This may challenge quieter students.

Some students may have trouble with reading and writing assignments. The

level of writing required may be higher and in greater quantity than what was

expected in high school. Some students need extra tutoring in writing, grammar,

spelling, etc. (Suggest the MAX Center: 696-6121.) Some readings may be more

complex and difficult than expected. Assignments may require several readings and

much more time than students allot. Students may develop anxiety about their

performance.

Students may really like their advisor, or may not. If they have an advisor they

do not get along with, they will hesitate to ask that advisor for help. Most advisors

work well with students but occasionally personalities don’t mix well. Students can

change advisors. Communication is the key here, even if personalities don’t match.
14

College Life

There is a maze of things to figure out – such as which courses to take, who to

get to know, where to go for this or that. A lot of energy goes into trying to make

sense of the new environment. Students may feel confused and bewildered from

time to time.

The food is not like home cooking. Students can gain weight during the first year

eating too much fat, starch and junk food. Most students will complain about the

food. The food here is pretty good, much of their dislike comes from eating at the

same place for three meals a day, seven days a week and it is not mom or dad’s

cooking.

Students dress differently than in high school. Some have body piercings and

purple hair. As your adolescents explore their identity, they may look radically

different during the first vacation or two home.

There are so many choices that the student can be overwhelmed and may not

complete projects and tasks. There are so many clubs, organizations, activities,

courses, lectures, sports practices, and concerns that it is sometimes hard to

decide what to go to. Work can suffer if the student is spread too thin. Conversely,

studies show that judicious active involvement can help students make better use of

their time and increase the quality of their work. Some students don’t get enough

sleep and get sick because they are committed to too many groups and/or projects.

Balance is the key.

15
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

There is some promiscuous behavior and some drug use. Students have to

mature, make responsible choices, and be aware that others may not engage in the

most constructive behaviors. Sometimes roommates want to bring their partners

into the room. Some students may even talk like “everyone else is doing it.” Keep in

mind that this is their perception rather than the reality.

Relationships

Students will be leaving old friends behind. They can keep up with them through

email and vacations. In some cases, they will go their separate ways. This may

surprise and sadden some students, especially those who have had the same

friends since grade school.

Students will be confronted with different people from a variety of backgrounds.

There are cultural differences; racial differences; and differences in sexual

orientation, religion, values, and lifestyle. It can feel overwhelming to start over with

new people. It can be hard to make new friends. It also gives students a chance to

develop a new identity. There will be feelings of acceptance as well as rejection.

Coping with new ideas, new people, and the possibility of rejection takes energy.

Roommates often have different lifestyles, values, and ways of doing things. A

roommate can be particular, messy, reliable, unreliable, assertive, helpful, noisy,

confused and difficult to live with. Some students find it challenging to live with a

new person. For others, it will be easy and friendships will emerge. If a student calls

home to complain about a roommate problem, encourage them first to work things

out. There are Residence Assistants (RAs) who have been trained to assist in this
16
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

process. Students may need to talk about switching roommates if the situation

becomes intolerable – for example, if a roommate is abusive. The RA can help with

that as well.

There may be troubled students who want to rely on your adolescent

excessively for support, care, and nurturance. Some students may be very

emotionally distraught and needy. This can be demanding and take a lot of time

and energy. Your student needs to know when to say, “I can’t handle this” and

when to refer his or her friend to the RA or for counseling (Counseling Services is

696-6275.)

Home and Family

Some students call home often. Others do not. Understanding student and

parental expectations about the kind of contact that will be maintained is important.

Have a discussion about what each family member needs as a minimum and wants

as a maximum of contact. Also discuss ideal conditions – times of day, days of

week that respect each person’s sleep habits, study needs, work schedules, etc.

Family structure changes. Parents may experience freedom when the kids leave

home, or they may feel a great sense of loss. Or they may feel both! A father may

find himself the only male among his wife and daughters. A mother may find herself

the only female among her husband and sons. The phone may be quieter than

before. New space may become available. When the student returns home, he or

she may feel like everyone has gobbled up the student’s space and moved on.

17
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

Students may choose to not come home for vacations, or may not be able to do

so because of cost or distance. They might be invited elsewhere. They might join

campus service trips such as Habitat for Humanity. If parents are looking forward to

home visits, they may have to adjust their expectations. Communication about

expectations again is the key.

Parents need to express concern and interest, and empower their adolescent to

seek appropriate kinds of help when necessary, to make good choices, and to learn

from experience. Parents cannot step in and do it for their student. However, some

of the situations can be stressful and difficult for your adolescent. There is a fine

balance in taking a genuine interest and offering help – but not encouraging your

adolescent to rely on you too much.

Technology and Budget

Despite Filipinos’ ingenuity and superb talent in animation, the local industry

still lags behind other countries in using the latest tools. True enough, many local

firms have little budget to allot to computer software that could have helped ease

animation jobs. Indeed, the Philippines lacks the needed funds and support to keep

up with the latest trends in technology and this financial shortage results in lesser

quality outputs.

Telecommunications

A vital element in the exchange of information, telecom also affects the

growth of animation in the country. With our local firms still unready for the so-called

18
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

“infobahn,” local animators could lose the game to its rivals abroad. In addition, this

would affect the speed and ease of sending or receiving messages and finishing

the animators’ tasks. Constant lack of update or upgrade in technology could lead

to failed information campaign.

Marketing and Information Dissemination

Like a “domino effect,” telecom problem could lead to yet another crisis.

Today, the local animation sector doesn’t have an organized system that could

market its presence in the country and the rest of the globe. Most people assume

Filipino artists can only draw and perform their jobs manually. Despite their

topnotch talent, which could have brought them to fame, they give in to bigger and

more popular animation firms and studios from other countries. With structured info

distribution, global clients would have more options and witness how local studios

create a new approach to address animation needs.

Tax and Lack of Incentives

The Philippine animation sector presently suffers, too, from high taxes and

little to no incentives. Even with the reported growth of the industry worldwide, most

animators get less recompense and pay high dues for resources that often come

from abroad.

Perception of Cheap Labor

Foreign clients, mainly those from more advanced nations, often pay low for

labor costs. This, however, underrates Filipino animators’ skills. While cheap labor

19
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

fees are an edge in the market, this turns the spotlight away from wealth of locals’

creativity.

Stiff Race with Other Asian Countries

Cheaper labor costs in India, Vietnam, and others across the region make

them good options for foreign animation projects. The stiff rivalry in pricing schemes

may defeat the quality of work that Filipino animators offer. To seize a bigger

market share, the country may not have other options but to lower the labor costs,

too.

Some students struggle with completing Math and English assignments,

submitting homework on time, and staying focus in class. However, these struggles

may be a part of a greater problem that is not clearly seen by parents, guardians,

and educators. 9 challenges students face in school are poverty, homeless families,

child abuse and neglect, bullying (including cyber bullying), violence, obesity and

eating disorders, sex and pregnancy, suicide, drugs, and dropping out. This article

reviews the first two challenges which are poverty and homeless families.

Poverty is a major problem in the United States. The gap is widening

between the upper class and the lower class sectors of society. The socioeconomic

status of children and their families has a profound effect on children’s education,

even in a country that prides itself on equal opportunity and fair treatment of all.

The distribution of wealth is skewed in the United States. The poorest 40% of

American citizens receive 12% of the national income. In contrast, the wealthiest

20
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

20% receive 51% of the national income. There are more than 36 million

impoverished Americans. While the majority of poor people are White, racial and

ethnic minorities have a higher rate of poverty. More than 17% of American children

live in poverty, which constitutes 35% of the poor. The majority of poor children

come from families headed by a single female parent. Unemployment is a factor in

poverty for some, but many are employed and still live below the poverty line.

Contrary to what many believed possible in the past, education has not eliminated

poverty.

Schools have not been designed to properly serve poor children. They reflect

and promote a middleclass way of life. What other challenges do impoverished

children experience? They often come from homes that are not adequate in terms

of shelter, and they may live in dangerous communities. In their neighborhood, they

may be exposed to drugs, violent crime, and prostitution, and they may turn to

these types of activities themselves at an early age.

Parents of children living in poverty often struggle to provide them with

enough quality food and medical coverage. Children living in poverty often come to

school without having had enough sleep and without having had breakfast. They

often experience family violence, abuse, secondhand smoke, neglect, and

inadequate clothing. They may not be able to pay for field trips or other

extracurricular activities that might expand their experience base. This is the

frightening reality for millions of children. As a teacher, you will likely have

impoverished students in your class.

21
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

Homelessness is another step down on the ladder of poverty. It is a very real

problem faced by 1.5 million children. Many homeless families live in shelters in

rural or urban areas. With one income and high rent and living expenses, many

families are just one emergency away from disaster.

Homeless children still need to have an education, although when they get to

school each morning, they are often hungry and tired. Like many children living in

poverty, homeless children move frequently, and are exposed to drugs, violence,

crime, and more. Transportation might be an issue for some homeless children, and

they miss a great deal of school. When they can attend school, they may be teased

about their clothes and the fact they fall asleep in class. They may have difficulty

making friends or fear participating in an activity in front of the class. Although many

homeless children are with their families, older homeless children may be runaways

or may have been kicked out of their homes. Many have been abused sexually

and/or physically.

To help homeless families living in homeless shelters or doubling up with

another family in an apartment (who are also considered homeless), Congress

passed the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act in 1987. This act was put

into place to ensure homeless families will receive food, shelter, adult education,

job training, and more. Barriers that once kept children out of school, such as not

having a birth certificate, proof of immunization, or residency, have been removed

by this act. Accordingly, no child is turned away from an education. Unfortunately,

budget cuts in recent years have hampered the development of this program.

22
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

Teachers who have homeless children in their classroom will need to know

how to help and support children without a permanent home. The children may be

emotionally needy. Due to lack of access to bathtubs or showers and little food,

they may be dirty and hungry. Teachers can be an anchor for these children by

showing them compassion and understanding. It may also be a challenge to

communicate with parents who do not have regular access to a phone. Of course,

the most important thing for homeless children is that their families find a home.

Teachers might be able to help by working with local agencies, children, and their

families to find a solution to their problem.

Poverty and homeless families are serious challenges that students may be

facing today. Be aware of signs or situations that reflect these problems among

your students. In the classroom seek to assist your students as best as you can and

continue to educate them. Continue to read the other parts of this series to learn

more about the challenges students face today.

Tardiness: High School and Students

Students showing signs of dullness and their disengagement from school is

apparent in actions and words, observed some students come to school appearing

exhausted and half asleep, complaining about how early school begins. They arrive

late to school at all hours of the day and appear to have varying attitudes and

stories for the attendance monitor regarding their repeated lateness.

Oral Hygiene of High School Students

23
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

It is attended by pupils who belong to different ethnic groups and different

status in life. Study show that dental hygiene is the most common dental health

problem existing today. It is common to everybody regardless of their status,

location and race.

Volunteering Essay

For anyone traveling through the twists and turns of high school, it can be a

very challenging frenzy to attempt to fit in and interact with other students. People

can get caught up in the pressures of trying to succeed expectations set by parents

and also everyday drama from fellow peers.

Common Problems

Family problem – family issues affect students performance in school as

students are not cognitively developed but psychologically, emotionally, or

affectionately developed too therefore if they are in a bad state or when family

issues such as child abuse, sibling rivalry and many more are burdened on

students there is the possibility for the student to flop especially in a case where the

student is an excellent child.

Anxiety

Anxiety disorders can be classified into several more specific types. The

most common are briefly described below. • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is

a chronic disorder characterized by excessive, long-lasting anxiety and worry about

nonspecific life events, objects, and situations.

METHODS

This chapter presented the research design, data gathering instrument, data

gathering procedure, statistical treatment of data and respondents of the study. The

number of respondents in each strands and sections are also tackled in this part.

Research Design

The researchers used the descriptive evaluated method or the descriptive

design method. Descriptive evaluate method or the descriptive design method

which involves describing the behavior of a subject without influencing it any way.

According to John Wiley & Sons (2004) Descriptive research is “aimed at

casting light on current issues or problems through a process of data collection that

enables them to describe the situation more completely than was possible without

employing this method.” For this purpose a questionnaire were used by the

researchers in gathering data as provide adequate interpretation on the topics

under study.

Subjects of the Study

For the success of the study the researchers sets a respondents that will

help the research to its completion of information. This study focused on the 283

respondents, which comprised 283 Grade 11 and Grade 12 students of Alangilan

Senior High School, during the school year of 2018-2019. For the sum up of the

compilation of the respondents it was put in the table were the first table is the

distribution of the Grade 11 and Grade 12 students-respondents according to the

25

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers made used of the recent issues in relation to their field to

come up with the topic of the study. To verify the validity of their topic, they sought

for the approval of their practical research instructor. Information from the books

and internet which was related to their topic supported their study.

Data Gathering Instrument

To gather data, the researchers reviewed research done by individual. The

researchers conducted discussions and group forums to determine what should be

given stress in the said topic.

26
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
General Academic Strand

The researchers used questionnaire for some purposes. The questions are

composed of several books, literature, and online references based on the topic.

On the first part of the researcher made questionnaire, it is composed of student

profile in order to know the identity of every student and in the second part of the

instrument it was consist of the importance of the implementation of activities in the

said subject.

The researchers used the library of Batangas Provincial Library further

readings: they used books, journals, encyclopedia, thesis, term papers etc. For the

findings of more information that will support and serve as the evidences for the

success of the study and it was used references.

1.1. Age

Age refers to the length of the existence extending from the beginning

to any given time by a person and the time of life at which some particular

qualification, power, or capacity arises or rests.

Age Frequency Percentage

18 years old 96 34
17 years old 116 41
16 years old 68 24
15 years old 3 1
Total 283 100

The table above presents the profile of respondents in terms of age. It can

be depicted from the table that out of 283 respondents that answered the

questionnaires, there are 34% or 96 students who are in 18 in their age, 41% or

116 students who are in 17 in their age, 24% or 68 students who are in 16 in their

age and 1% or 3 students are 15 in their age.

The differences in the experiences and maturation of older student include a

relatively better performance in academic settings which is known as the relative

age effecy (RAE).

In our study, we have 18 years old student who have answered the

questionnaire, we can say that they are more matured enough than the ones

whose age were 17. They can handle the situation easier and can also solve the

problems and challenges that they faced within their selves.

1.2. Sex

Sex refers to the sexual activity, including specifically sexual intercourse and

29

either the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and

many other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive

functions.

Sex Frequency Percentage

Male 97 34
Female 186 66
Total 283 100

Out of 283 respondents there are 34% or 97 males and another is 66% or

186 female student that answered the questionnaires. Therefore, respondents of

the study from the student of Alangilan Senior High School have a different

number of both type of sex, male and female.

We all know that we have gender discrimination in our country when we say

female the first things comes in our mind was weak, but male often describe as

strong gender really plays a big role in our study because on the data gathered

female students was more prostrated and weak when handling some challenges

on problems. Meanwhile male students was more stalwart in handling such

challenges.

high school. According to Felicia Nazareth, challenges and struggles are part of

every ones lives. The researchers faced many challenges in our day to day journey.

The challenges we face throughout our lives makes us person we are. Through our

past experience we have learned to deal with challenges.

However, the case is not the same when we talk about youngsters.

Youngsters especially students are very fragile and find tackling challenges

extremely difficult. Just like everyone, the life of students too is filled with many

challenges. Students are inexperienced when it comes to dealing with challenges

and end up being victims to stress, anxiety and depression. Not knowing the right

way to deal with challenges can become a great a great barrier in the lives of the

students. And according to Nazareth, this common challenges faced by students is

in terms of academics. Health. Health issues can be another challenge that student

face. Relationship. Peer Pressure. Addictions. Money or Financial Stability.

Table 3 shows the factors that affect the different challenges of Alangilan

Senior High School. According to the respondents of the study, factors that affect

the different challenges of the student that rank one is the doing different activities

with the weighted mean of 3.27. Next factor that affect the different challenges that

rank second was, collaborative performance of the student which has a weighted

mean of 3.18.

If there is a highest level, there’s also the lowest, according to the

respondents of the study, the least factors that affect the different challenges of the

student was the Lack number of enrollees which has a weighted mean of 2.52.

According to Rey Fleming, previous student attainment (in Victoria they use

GAT scores to measure this) This is used to ensure that you are measuring the

value added to students performance, not just their final achievement. Socio

Economic Status of the student in take, this is used to remove bias from a school

being in a particular are which may affect it’s student intake. For example, if a

school is located in an area with a higher proportion of social housing, statistically

the students are likely to be less engaged with education (eg., higher absence

rates), with less well educated parents.

School size, based on number of students OECD research quoted in the

report shows that as school size falls below 1000 students, average student

attainment falls too. Rural/Urban location, research shows this is an important

influencer of school performance within Australia. School sector- public, private or

Catholic. When you don’t take this factor into account, then the analysis of schools

35
 ALANGILAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

grouping into three bands, representing the different sectors. By taking these

factors into account when looking at school performance, you are able to get a

better idea of how each school is performing compared to other schools, and a

better idea of the value added to individual students.
