Abstract

This study determined the level of home support practices of parents or guardians and examined their relationship with learners’ academic performance at Atipolo Elementary School. Using a descriptive-correlational design, data were gathered from 61 parents or guardians during the school year 2025–2026 through a structured questionnaire and learners’ general averages. Frequency, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, Chi-square test, and Pearson correlation were used. Findings showed a high level of home support practices and generally high academic performance among learners. Selected profile variables were significantly associated with home support practices. Home support practices were positively and significantly related to learners’ academic performance, suggesting that stronger home support is linked with higher academic performance.
