ABSTRACT

This study aimed to find out the Grade VI pupils’ perception of the Dipolog Pilot Demonstration School’s performance in academic and para-academic competitions and their esteem of their school’s capability.
Correlational research method was used in the study to find out the Grade VI pupils’ perceptions of the Dipolog Pilot Demonstration School’s performance in academic and para-academic competitions and their esteem on the capability of the school. The respondents of the study were one hundred fifty (150) Grade VI pupils of the Dipolog Pilot Demonstration School.
The study used the fish-bowl sampling technique in determining the number of respondents. The primary tool of the study to gather data on the perception and esteem of the pupils were questionnaires for perception and esteem with constructs made by the researcher bases on her readings and researches.
As revealed in the findings, the pupils of the Dipolog Pilot Demonstration School agreed on their schools’ performance in academic and para-academic competitions and their esteem on the capability of the school was high. This means that there was a significant relationship on pupils perception of their school’s performance in academic and para academic competitions and their esteem of their school’s capability.
Recommendations such as encouraging pupils to participate in academic and para-academic competitions is greatly enhanced. Teachers, school heads and parents give full support to pupils who join and participate in both academic and para-academic competitions.
