The administrators' performance is based on the Office Performance Commitment and ReviewForm (OPCRF) of Administrators for School Year 2016-2017.

The Team STEPPS Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire was used to answer questions on attitudes of administrators towards teamwork.

None of the teachers received the lowest scores. As assessed, both administrators and teachers have similar ratings on teamwork attitude. It shows that of the five (5) leadership practices, administrators’ assessment of themselves modelling the way ranked fourth with a mean of 4.26 or very satisfactory; inspiring a vision ranked second with a mean of 4.28 or very satisfactory; challenging the process with a mean of 4.26 or very satisfactory ranked third; enabling others to act with a mean of 4.28 or very satisfactory ranked first and encouraging the heart with a mean of 4.24 or very satisfactory ranked fifth.
