IMPACT OF HOME ENVIRONMENT ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS IN PHILIPPINES

Abstract

The study examined how family environment influences Grade 10 students' academic achievement at Sto. Nino National High School. Using a descriptive research approach and survey questionnaire, data was collected from 100 students during the 2021-2022 school year. Findings showed that students generally performed well academically. Key findings include: most students come from large families with low parental income, both parents are college graduates, and they have a nuclear family with access to TV and videos at home. Factors significantly linked to academic performance were parents' economic position, father's educational achievement, and availability of learning resources. Family size, mother's education, family structure, home conditions, and domestic duties had no impact. Recommendations include parental involvement, teacher support, and further research on home environment's role in student performance.
