A study conducted by (Lagura, 2012) stated that K-12 is patterned after the
United States, Canada, and some parts of Australia. In this study, our intention is to give
solution to the problems of the incoming SHS students. This study will determine the
different factors that can affect the choices of the Grade 10 students regarding to their
preferred school in Senior High School. We also intend to strengthen their state of mind
when it comes to decision making and determining the things that they want.
According to (Alba, 2010), good decision making is an essential skill for career
success generally, and effective leadership particularly. Graduating students usually faces
one of the most crucial decisions in their lives, and that is future career and school
decision. These students face the fact that this certain adjudication will decide their
future. During this crucial stage in each student’s life, there are some factors in which
results to confusion and further lead to mistake. (Ramirez & Dizon, 2014) stated that
some students sometimes plan to enter some school without clear idea of what school
Other people’s perception has a large contribution on the student’s school and
career preference. Some students are being influenced by the perception of the other
people. According to (Fernandez,2009) close relationship between parents and the school
is important. He suggests that school administrator and teachers should exhibit an attitude
that will encourage parents to solve problems, gives suggestions and attend conferences.
(West, 2001) stated that the reputation and exam results of schools are key features
guiding parent’s school choices. The parent’s will ensure if the school is appropriate for
3
their children to enter. Frequently, parent’s choices are always being followed. Similarly,
a latest study conducted by (Campbell, 2015) states that school choice policies enable
parents to decide where their children will be educated. School vouchers, tax-credit
scholarships, and education savings accounts give parents the authority to redirect the
education funding that supports sending their children to the school of their choice,
private or public.
An early work written by (Dietrich, 2010) stated that there are several factors that
making are a significant aspect of critical thinking. These Factors that may affect the
decisions of students, where it can be a good source of insight in choosing a school that is
offering a good quality services that will suit to the needs, expectations and demands of
the community.
In this study we also aim to let the Department of Education (DepEd) and Schools
know that they should conduct various seminars regarding to decision-making of the
students about the schools that they should enter and how this schools can develop their
skills and abilities that they possess. The process of career exploration, school choice and
good career choice and school sometimes depend on how the way students perceive the
world and their future. In reaction to this stress, students may attempt to seek opinions to
others, especially to their parents who have the ability to access an education marketplace
to choose the school that best suits their child’s academic needs.

To sum up, this study will help the DNHS Grade-10 Students to discern the
factors that may affect their choice of school when it comes to Senior High School. This
study will help them, to be aware of these factors and accurately choose their preferred
school.
The main objective of this study is to determine the factors affecting the school
choice of DNHS-Grade 10 Students. Specifically; the study seeks to answer the following
questions:
1. What factors affect the choice of school among the Grade 10 Students?
2. What are the impacts of the parent’s perception on the student’s choice?
3. How does the capacity of the school affect the decision of the students in terms
of:
a. Instructional Materials
b. Equipment
c. Teachers
The goal of this study is to find out the factors that affect the school preference of
the DNHS-Grade 10 Students. We also aim to give knowledge and views to the students
for them to decide clearly and wisely. This study will also help them to strengthen their
knowledge when it comes to decision-making. This study can also help the students to
find the most appropriate school and path that they should enter. The students may also

One early work by (Biggs & Porter, 1994) conclude that school choice requires
educational diversity among schools so that there is a basis for choice other than simply
'good’ and 'bad', and that parents have the right to choose schools that best suited for their
children. Every parent wants the best for their child. Even their child is already old
enough to decide for their own, parents’ still want to get involved in the decisions of their
children.
Some students grow up knowing what they want to do in life. However, some of
them, changes their decisions from time to time. According to (Mcglynn, 2007), most
students today are more concerned with the amount of money they can earn. Students
nowadays are really just being practical. However, there are few students who pursue
their dreams. Some students are getting confuse on which path would their skills fit in
including their selves. They always want to feel comfortable in every ways.

Regarding to this matter, the educational system of the schools must be more improved.
The latest study conducted by (Sandil, 2010) stated that gaining real choices in
education is a primary reform measure that Filipino children should be given. The
choices regarding education, depends on the parent’s income, the choice of the students

able to send their children in a private school if they are belong to the persons that have a
stable job and salary. The parents who do not belong to this are sending their children
into a public school. But some parents are sending their child into a public school because
they believe that the teachers in the public schools are more skilled than those who are in

Theoretical Framework
The study was based on the different theories on the school choice of the students.
The current study is also anchored on Friedman’s School Choice Theory. His theory is a
system which principles can be chosen and implemented at will. School choice principles
are interrelated and the proper implementation of one affects the outcome of others. He
elaborated this principles which are deregulation, competition and parental demand that is
This study is also inclined on the choice theory of (Glasser,1998) that although
people share similar needs, the behaviors through which individuals choose to satisfy
their needs may vary greatly. He explains why people behave as they do and how we can
build positive relationships with the people who are important to us. As such, it is of great
value to educators and others who seek to engage young people in meaningful work.
Choice theory rests on the belief that all human behavior is “chosen” and that we choose
our behaviors in an effort to satisfy the needs that are common to all humanity. This
study is relevant to the theory of (Bandura,1986) which explores the maturity and
development of interest and career and how these things turned into action.
This study is also similar to the Career Decision-Making Process of (Hirschi and
Lage, 2007). It is important for the institution of to identify the willingness of the
students to pursue the program where interest can be used as good indicator of career
choice.
