Abstract This study examined the level of School-Based Management (SBM) practices among school heads in the Department of Education (DepEd) Cagayan de Oro City Division, Philippines, and its relationship with their schools’ academic performance. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, data were collected from 56 school heads in public secondary schools through surveys and Curriculum Management Support System (CMSS) reports on schools’ academic performance. The study focused on the four SBM principles: Leadership and Governance, Curriculum and Learning, Accountability and Continuous Improvement, and Resource Management. Findings revealed that most school heads exhibited an advanced level of SBM practice across all four principles, with Leadership and Governance scoring the highest. Further, statistical analysis indicated no significant relationship between the school heads’ SBM practice levels and their schools’ academic performance. These results highlight the multifaceted nature of academic outcomes, which are influenced by contextual factors. While school heads play a vital role in SBM implementation, its direct impact on academic performance may require a longer time to manifest.
