management (SBM) implementation and Assessment. The level of readiness of the selected public elementary schools
in Polomolok District towards SBM implementation in terms of leadership and governance, curriculum and

Lamcuah Elementary School, Landan Elementary School, Bato Elementary School, Maligo Elementary School,
Palkan Elementary School, Lamcaliaf Elementary School, Kawit Elementary School, Guaza Elementary School,
Bukay- Eel Elementary School, and Kawit Extension Tinifulan Elementary School. To determine the level of
readiness of the public elementary schools in Polomolok District towards school-based management implementation

given. As a result of the study's data, the schools' readiness in leadership and governance is evident through their
strong leadership practices, precise accountability mechanisms, and collaborative decision-making processes. This
foundation provides a solid framework for successful SBM implementation and fosters a positive student learning
environment. The results show that in terms of curriculum and instruction, the schools demonstrate a high level of
preparedness by prioritizing learner-centered approaches, involving the community in curriculum development,
promoting continuous improvement, and nurturing values. The study also revealed a high readiness level regarding
accountability and continuous improvement. Furthermore, the schools exhibit a high level of readiness in the
management of resources. The result shows that the selected public elementary schools in Polomolok District are
highly prepared for SBM implementation. It is recommended that this readiness of the schools for School-Based
Management implementation will be sustained so that the schools will have better rating during the evaluation process.
