The study aimed to seek the determinants of the performance of public elementary schools in the Division of Agusan Del Norte. A descriptive research design was used in the study that involved the secondary data of the psychosocial characteristics of the respondent schools obtained from the School Monitoring, Evaluation and Assessment data bank of the district of Las Nieves. Based on the finding of the study, absenteeism, poor reading comprehension, and budget were the problems experienced by the school heads that likely affected school performance. An intervention program has been designed to address the issues of absenteeism and poor reading comprehension. In addition, the factors and school environment factors are important determinants of performance achievement that directly affect students’ achievement not only in a subject area but in all subjects. Laboratory adequacy and availability, a school environment affect students’ performance in Science and Technology subjects. Moreover, students tend to understand and recall what they see more than what they hear because of using laboratories to teach and learn science and technology subjects. It was recommended that the Department of Education Division of Agusan Del Norte initiate programs/projects/activities to sustain quality education, increase the learners’ mean percentage scores, and encourage teachers to give extra time to assist learners who are not performing well in school. They may also encourage external stakeholders to participate in school activities and projects.
