It involved 132 elementary school administrators. In order to validate their selfassessment from the survey instrument, 380 random samples of teachers who were under those respective administrators were taken to assess the competence of their respective administrators. The analysis and interpretation of the data gathered were facilitated by frequency counts, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson r. The study found out that there is no significant relationship between the school heads' age, sex, work experience, and family monthly income and the school performance considering the teachers' performance, the learners' performance and their reading comprehension.
