Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study assessed the academic achievement and final ratings of senior high school students in their Mathematics subject from different schools in Cabuyao City, Laguna.

METHODS

This study employed the descriptive correlation survey method for gathering data. There are seven hundred sixty -two (762) respondents from Cabuyao National High School, two hundred thirty (230) respondents from Bigaa National High School, five hundred ninety-nine (599) respondents from Southville National High School, six hundred three (603 ) respondents from Gulod National High School, and seven hundred thirty -five ( 735 ) from Pulo National High School. There are a total of two thousand nine hundred twenty-nine (2929) respondents from all the public schools in the City of Cabuyao for the study. To determine the relationship of the variables, the researcher used the Spearman Rho, and to test the significance of the variables, the researchers used the formula for t-test.

RESULTS

From the summarized findings, it was concluded that there was a significant relationship between the achievement test scores and the final ratings in Mathematics of the senior high school students.

DISCUSSIONS

To further increase the achievement of students in terms of their final ratings, teachers can use modern technologies in teaching to get the interest of the students, or they can initiate group work and give lots of exercises to facilitate learning by doing. Since the achievement test and the final ratings are significantly related to each other, an achievement test should be taken by the high school students to measure their achievement and this may also be one of the requirements for the computation of their final ratings.
