Anchored in the premise that resource availability significantly affects learning outcomes, the study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. Data were collected from multigrade teachers and school records using a validated researcher-made survey questionnaire and learners’ academic grades in core subjects (English, Math, Science, and Filipino). Findings revealed that while the availability of learning resources—such as textbooks, teaching guides, audio-visual aids, and digital tools—was generally moderate, academic performance among learners remained within a satisfactory level. Pearson correlation analysis showed a significant positive relationship between resource availability and learners' academic performance, emphasizing the crucial role of adequate and accessible instructional materials in supporting multigrade instruction. The study concludes that improving the supply and quality of learning resources can lead to better educational outcomes in multigrade settings. It recommends targeted interventions by local education stakeholders to enhance the resource ecosystem in multigrade schools, particularly in geographically challenged areas like Eastern Samar.
