Abstract: This study investigated the relationship between school heads’ leadership practices, teachers’ attitudes, and school performance in the First District of Lanao del Sur. Employing a descriptive-correlational design, data were gathered from 51 teachers across 18 schools using validated instruments assessing four leadership domains, teacher attitudes, and National Achievement Test (NAT) scores. Results revealed that school heads demonstrated excellent leadership across administrative, technical, conceptual, and interpersonal domains, while teachers exhibited very good attitudes toward teaching. Despite these high ratings, statistical analyses showed no significant correlation between (1) leadership practices and teacher attitudes, (2) leadership practices and school performance, and (3) teacher attitudes and school performance. ANOVA findings also indicated no significant difference among the four leadership domains. These findings suggest that strong leadership and positive teacher attitudes do not necessarily translate into improved academic performance. The study recommends implementing the proposed development program as part of in-service training to sustain and refine leadership and teaching competencies amidst the complex interplay of factors affecting student outcomes.
