Relationship Between Organizational Health of Schools and Teachers’ Performance in Selected Public Schools in Valenzuela City

This study investigated the relationship between the organizational health of schools and teacher performance in selected public elementary schools in Valenzuela City for the School Year 2025–2026. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational research design, data were collected from 175 respondents, including 8 principals, 42 master teachers, and 125 teachers. Results indicated that organizational health is “Very Evident” across all dimensions, while teacher performance consistently reached the “Always” level in areas such as subject mastery and instructional delivery.
Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in organizational health perceptions based on school size, suggesting standardized policy implementation across the division. Importantly, a significant positive relationship was established between organizational health and teacher performance, confirming that a healthy school environment—characterized by institutional integrity and supportive leadership—is associated with higher instructional effectiveness. While challenges like insufficient resources and heavy workloads were identified as slightly evident, the schools demonstrated high resilience.
The study culminated in the development of a School Organizational Health Sustainability Framework designed to institutionalize best practices in leadership, resource management, and professional collaboration to ensure long-term educational excellence.
