The school-community partnership and performance in numeracy of secondary schools

This study examined the school-community partnership and numeracy performance of secondary schools in Tabaco City Division for SY 2022-2023. It explored activities involving schools and communities, assessed partnership levels in Project ANGLE and Brigada Matematika, and evaluated school numeracy performance. Using a descriptive survey, it tested the relationship between school-community partnership and numeracy outcomes, identified challenges, and proposed an action plan for improvement. Respondents included school heads, teachers, and community partners, with data analyzed through frequency count, percentage, weighted mean, Pearson r, and t-test to determine trends and correlations in numeracy performance and collaborative engagement. This study highlighted the effectiveness of school-community partnerships in improving numeracy performance in Tabaco City Division, particularly through Project ANGLE and Brigada Matematika. The findings showed a strong collaboration between schools and communities, leading to near mastery levels in numeracy, though challenges such as limited resources and inconsistent stakeholder engagement persist. A significant correlation was found between partnership strength and numeracy outcomes, emphasizing the need for sustained collaboration, adequate funding, and teacher training. To enhance program sustainability, schools are encouraged to strengthen stakeholder engagement, allocate sufficient resources, and implement the proposed action plan for long-term improvements in numeracy education.
