Abstract:

Schools in the 21st century require school plants which includes all facilities essential for the achievement of educational objectives. The aim of this study was to determine the status of school facilities for Special Program in the Arts (SPA) and its influence on the student performance in competitions of Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School (GCCNHS). The research design is descriptive. The status of the school facilities was assessed through a teacher-designed questionnaire in terms of availability, adequacy, and usability answered by the SPA students and teachers. The researcher gathered the General Point Average (GPA) of the SPA students and was tested to measure the relationship of the status of the school facilities and the students’ performance. The statistical treatments applied were the frequency, mean and t-test. The findings of the study revealed that there is no evidence that the school has available, adequate and usable school facilities and there is no significant difference between the school facilities and student performance tested at 0.05 level. Tus, it is a contributory factor in the low achievement of students in competitions.
