Results revealed that the school highly implemented the child-friendly school system and 53.3% of the respondents got satisfactory performance level equivalent to 80-84, while 26.7% of the respondents got a fair performance level equivalent to 75-79, and about 20% got good performance level which is 85-89 equivalent grades. Results showed that there was no significant relationship between the perspective of child-friendly school system and the academic performance of the respondents since the observed p-values of 0.950 did exceed at the 0.05 level of significance.
