Abstract

This study examines the influence of strand choice on academic performance in specialized subjects among Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) students at Tacurong National High School. Utilizing a quantitative, non-experimental design and a descriptive-correlation approach, the research targets 115 Grade 11 ABM students for the School Year 2023-2024, employing purposive sampling to focus on those with below-average grades. Data were analyzed using mean scores, frequency counts, and multiple regression analysis to explore relationships between variables. Results indicate high levels of influence from personal interests, peer support, and family input on strand choice. Regarding academic performance, the study found that most students achieved Satisfactory ratings, with a notable portion receiving Fairly Satisfactory ratings, and a smaller percentage obtaining Very Satisfactory ratings. None of the students reached the Outstanding range, highlighting a need for improvement in specialized subjects. The analysis revealed that students who chose their strands based on personal interests tend to perform better academically. Based on these findings, the study recommends innovating the admission policy by implementing a standardized admission test to assess students' readiness for specialized subjects, enabling targeted support for those in need. This approach aims to enhance academic success among ABM students.
