Abstract This study explored the relationship between the fidelity of program implementation, the extent of community engagement, and key school performance indicators, especially participation rate, cohort survival rate, and graduation rate. Guided by the premise that internal processes and external collaboration play vital roles in school outcomes, the research adopted a quantitative-correlational design where 126 public school teachers participated in the study using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected from selected public elementary and integrated schools, focusing on three components of implementation fidelity-- completeness of planned activities, timeliness of execution, and staff training participation. Community engagement was measured through parent involvement, volunteer hours, and the development of school-community partnerships. The results indicated that most indicators under implementation fidelity and community engagement did not exhibit statistically significant relationships with the targeted school performance measures. However, a notable exception emerged: completeness of planned activities demonstrated a significant negative correlation with student participation rate (r=-0.740, p=0.014). This unexpected result suggested that a higher volume or strict execution of planned activities might unintentionally hinder student participation, possibly due to over-scheduling or misalignment with student needs. Other variables-- such as timeliness, staff training, and community engagement factors— showed weak or non-significant correlations with cohort survival and graduation rates. These results highlighted the complexity of improving school performance and suggested that single-variable interventions may be insufficient. Rather, school appeared to depend on a combination of factors, including student motivation, socioeconomic background, and the broader educational environment. The study emphasized the importance of adopting a more holistic and context-sensitive approach to educational planning and reform. It recommended sustained collaboration among stakeholders, continuous program evaluation, and future research that incorporates qualitative methods to better understand the nuanced factors shaping student outcomes.
