Age
Table 1 shows the distribution of learners in terms of age. The mean age of the learners is
14 years old. This is broken down into 6 or 60 percent of the learners having an age of 13 to 14
years old; 3 or 30 percent of them are 15 to 16 years old; and 1 or 10 percent of the learners are
11 to 12 years of age. This finding means that the learners’ age (14 years) fits with their grade
level as mandated by the Department of Education.

Sex
The distribution of learners in terms of their sex is presented in Table 2. As can be
gleaned, 4 or 40 percent of the learners are Male while 6 or 60 percent of the learners are female.
This finding means that the learners are female-dominated.

Parents’ Highest Educational Attainment
The distribution of learners in terms of parents’ highest educational attainment is
signposted in Table 3. As shown, in terms of Fathers’ educational attainment, majority (3 or 30
percent) of the learners’ fathers are college graduates. In terms of mothers’ highest educational
attainment, majority (5 or 50 percent) of the learners’ mothers are high school graduate. This
result means that most of the Learners’ parents had somehow reached the educational level
wherein they can guide and support their children in their studies. Home environment is as
important as what goes on in the school. In other words, students’ performance is not only about
what goes on once students get into the classroom. It is also about what happens to them before
and after school.

Monthly Income
The distribution learners in terms of parents’ monthly income is shown in Table 4. As
reflected in the table, 9 or 90 percent of them have family income of 16,000 and above; 1 or 10
percent have monthly income range of 11,000 to 15,999. The average monthly income of the
learners’ parents is 41,160 which means that the learners belong to a family whose monthly
income is higher than the minimum income set by the Philippine Statistics Authority (2015)
which is 20,020.
The findings implies that parents’ income is adequate for the need of their children.
With this, learners can focus on studying their lessons and working on their assignments, the
learners are not mandated to do some household chores, thus, this puts them in a more of time in
working with their academic tasks.

Number of Siblings in the Family
The distribution of learners in terms of number of siblings in the family is signposted in
Table 5. As indicated by the learners, 6 or 60 percent of them have 3-4 siblings, 3 or 30 percent
have 1-2 siblings; one learner have five to six siblings. The mean siblings are 3.2. This implies
that parents can fully support the needs of their children with just the right number of children.

Parents’ Occupation
The distribution of learners in terms of parents’ occupation is shown in Table 6. In terms
of fathers’ occupation, 7 or 70percent of them are professional workers while in terms of
mothers’ occupation 6 or 60 percent of the mothers are professional workers. This finding means
that both of the parents have the capacity to provide the basic needs of their children most
particularly in giving the needs of the children in their education, both academic and financial
needs.
