This study is aimed to determine the performances of Accreditation and Equivalency Test takers in every Learning Strand of the Alternative Learning System of the Naga City Schools Division. Specifically, it answered the performances of secondary ALS learners for the calendar years 2015, 2016, 2017; the significant relationships of every Learning Strand with the overall performance; the differences in the performance of the respondents' standard scores by learning strand, and according to the calendar year; the gender differences in the performance of the respondents’ scores by learning strand; and, the programs that can be proposed to further improve the performances in the A&E Test? A descriptive-comparative method was used in this study. Results showed that the 1,287 test takers for the past 3 years did very well in Learning Strand 1 which is Communication Skills. Conversely, they performed low in Learning Strand 4, Development of Self and Sense of Community. There are significant relationships between learning strands with the overall scores. There are differences between the three calendar years of their performances’ overall scores and by learning strands. Along with program development, it is recommended to conduct intensive reviews and institutionalize teachers’ professional learning communities to improve learning sessions and intervention.
