Key Performance Indicators (KPI) is a type of performance measurement that helps every person to understand how an organization, department, or institution is performing and allows a person to understand if he/she is headed in the right direction with his/her strategy. However, in today's modern education, many factors can affect students' performance in school. This study identified the extent to which these academic indicators were observed.

The study was participated by the 280 respondents identified through the use of Slovin's formula. The researcher used a self-made questionnaire in gathering the data needed for the study. The statements focused on the extent of observance of the key academic indicators.
