——— This research explores how public schools in Parañaque City utilize learning resources, their challenges, and best practices for maximizing effectiveness in diverse educational environments. Using quantitative-descriptive statistical analysis, the study assesses 45 schools to evaluate the impact of traditional (textbooks, libraries) and digital resources (online platforms, educational software) on academic outcomes. It highlights the importance of integrating these tools, particularly as digital resources help bridge educational gaps. Challenges include unequal access to resources, technology deficits, and insufficient training for assigned focal persons for school learning resources and even school librarians. Effective resource management is crucial to avoid waste and ensure availability, with regular staff training emphasized. The study finds that schools with efficient resource allocation achieve better outcomes, but face issues like delivery delays and inadequate digital tools. Recommendations include improving distribution processes and fostering collaboration among educators to enhance resource management and overall learning effectiveness Keywords — Schools, Utilization, Learning Resources
