Abstract

Quality education is achieved by the better academic performance of the learners. The study determines the profile of Grade VI pupils and their academic performance in the San Julian District. Descriptive correlational design was used to ascertain the influence between variables and was analyzed through inferential analysis based on the results of the questionnaire and academic performance. The data used in this study were taken from Grade VI pupils, their profile in terms of gender, educational attainment of mother, father, and attitude towards the subject. However, subjected to statistical analysis such as the frequency, percentage, mean, overall mean, standard deviation, and correlation test. The statistical findings revealed that the pupil's profile shows a majority of male learners, with college graduates and high school graduates for mothers' educational attainment, and dominated by high school graduates for fathers' educational attainment. Likewise, the attitude towards the subject has potentially led to improved academic performance and has been very satisfactory in the English learning area. After the correlation analysis, the profile in terms of gender, and educational attainment of the mother and father of the respondents was statistically related to their academic performance. There is no significant relationship between pupils’ profiles and academic performance, therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected. However, no significant relationship established in the attitude toward the subject has no substantial influence on pupils' academic performance. Lastly, no significant relationship between profile and academic performance, therefore, the null hypothesis failed to be rejected. The following recommendations provide professional development opportunities for teachers to enhance their ability to address diverse educational backgrounds and learning attitudes. The school heads will facilitate a platform for teachers to share successful teaching practices in the English learning area. Encourage collaboration and the exchange of effective instructional methods to enhance the overall quality of English education.
