This study assesses the Mathematics proficiency of the Grade 9 students of the Union Christian College, in the City of San Fernando, La Union, School Year 2014-2015. The findings were used as a basis in the formulation of a Grade 9 Mathematics Instructional Plan. Using the simple random sampling method, majority of the Grade 9 students participated as respondents in the study. The data were gathered through the use of validated questionnaires. The study employed the Descriptive Developmental with Correlation Research. The results revealed that: The Proficiency level of almost all of the students are Beginning in all subject areas (Algebra, Geometry and Statistics); the perceived difficulties are moderate; there is an inverse relationship between the students' proficiency level and their perceived learning difficulties; and the validity of the Mathematics Instructional Plan is high. In line with the findings, the following conclusions were drawn: 1) The Grade 9 students' proficiency level is low 2) Most competencies in Algebra, Geometry and Statistics were not acquired; 3) the students' perceived difficulties have no bearing to their proficiency level, and other factors may be attributed to this; 4) the Mathematics Instructional Plan may be proposed to enhance and improve the proficiency level of students.
