SBM, a decentralized approach to school governance, empowered schools with greater autonomy in decision-making related to curriculum, teaching, leadership, governance, and resource management. The research assessed the effectiveness of SBM practices in six dimensions: curriculum and teaching, learning environment, leadership, governance and accountability, human resource development, and finance/resource mobilization. It also explored stakeholder engagement, specifically in terms of involvement, communication, decision-making, support systems, and health and wellness. Data were collected from 10 Level III SBM schools in the Division of Laguna, with a total of 200 respondents, including school leaders, teachers, parents, and community members. Quantitative analysis revealed that the implementation of SBM was generally effective, with 80% of respondents reporting active involvement in school management activities. The results also showed a positive correlation between stakeholder engagement and school performance, with a statistically significant relationship (p < 0.05) between high SBM practices and improved OPCRF ratings, where 75% of schools achieved an "Outstanding" performance rating. In particular, leadership (mean = 4.5) and governance and accountability (mean = 4.3) scored the highest, indicating robust stakeholder participation in these areas. However, curriculum and teaching (mean = 3.2) and the learning environment (mean = 3.1) showed lower scores, reflecting areas where SBM implementation had less impact. The study identified key challenges, such as documentation inefficiencies and resource allocation imbalances, which hindered the full potential of SBM. Despite these challenges, the research concluded that SBM significantly contributed to school improvement by fostering collaboration, transparency, and accountability. The study recommended streamlining documentation processes, enhancing resource distribution, and providing continuous training for stakeholders to improve SBM outcomes and ensure sustained improvements in school performance. The findings offered valuable insights for policymakers and educational leaders aiming to optimize SBM practices for better educational outcomes in the Philippines.
